III. Write whether the following statements are true or false:

27. All rocks are made up of the same minerals. _False______________
28. Sedimentary rocks are always formed in layers. ___True_____________
29. Metamorphic rocks have fossils in them. ___False_______________
30. Coal is called black gold. _______False____________
31. Petroleum can be used in its natural state. ___False________________
IV. Differentiate the following:
32. Metallic and non-metallic minerals
Metallic minerals are called ores, and metals are extracted from these. Non-metallic mineral
reserves consist of stone quarries and clay and sand pits, examples of non metallic minerals
are: Coal and Petroleum
33. Sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks

Sedimentary rocks are made up of sediments that are cemented together, igneous rocks are formed due
to the cooling of lava
34. Sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks

Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments of rocks that have been cemented together.
Metamorphic rocks are made from sedimentary or igneous rocks that have gone through lots of heat
and pressure
35. Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks

Igneous rocks are formed from cooled down lava. Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary
and igneous rocks that went through extreme heat and pressure.

4. Limestone b d. Flooring of house

5. Slate a e. Body Scrubber

6. Marble d f. Buildings

VI. Answer the following:

36. Can we use pumice instead of granite or marble? Why?
No, we cant use pumice instead granite or marble because each rock is used for a specific purpose
because of their different properties.

37. If petrol gets over in 50 years, suggest a source of energy can be used to run a car?
If petrol gets over 50 years, you can use it as LPG, CNG, Diesel and petroleum
