Export options on paid plans for PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, plus QTI and Moodle XML on Pro

Example earth science quiz questions about rock types

What type of rock forms when magma or lava cools and hardens?Igneous rock. Magma and lava crystallize as they cool, which gives igneous rock its form.

Which rock type is most likely to contain fossils?Sedimentary rock. Layers of sediment are compacted and cemented over time, which can preserve organisms trapped within them.

True or false: metamorphic rock forms from existing rock changed by heat and pressure.True. Heat and pressure recrystallize minerals without fully melting the original rock.

What process turns loose sediment into sedimentary rock?Compaction and cementation. Pressure squeezes the grains together while minerals dissolved in water bind them.

Marble is the metamorphic form of which rock?Limestone. Heat and pressure recrystallize the calcite in limestone into a denser, interlocking texture.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then set how many questions you want.

Take the quiz and check explanations

Answer the questions, read why each answer is right or wrong, and retake the weak spots.

A quiz made from your lecture slides or textbook chapter tests the exact terms and examples your instructor used, such as the texture of basalt compared with granite or the layers in a sandstone outcrop.

Frequently asked questions

How do I tell igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks apart?

Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and hardens, often with interlocking crystals. Sedimentary rocks are layered and formed by compacted sediment, while metamorphic rocks form when heat and pressure change an existing rock.

How many questions should a rock quiz have for one unit?

Ten to fifteen questions is a practical range for one rock unit, enough to cover rock types, texture and formation. Shorter quizzes work well for daily review.

Is DeckOwl a browser extension for another quiz site?

No. DeckOwl is a web app you use in the browser, and it generates quizzes from your own PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, notes or photos of pages.

Can I export a quiz I make in DeckOwl?
