Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

Which of these is not one of Earth's interacting systems?
 
rhizosphere
 
Biosphere
 
Geosphere
 
hydrosphere
These are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living rock. Form from deposits that accumulate on Earth's surface.
 
sedimentary rocks
 
igneous rocks
 
metamorphic rocks
This type of rock forms from heat and pressure.
 
metamorphic
 
igneous
 
sedimentary
Minerals are dissolved between grains of sediment and cement the sediments together.
 
cementation
 
compaction
 
deposition
Weight pushes down on layers of sediment causing this:
 
compaction
 
cementation
 
deposition
When agents of erosion lose their energy and slow down, sediments are deposited in a new location.
 
deposition
 
rock cycle
 
erosion
This occurs when sediments are carried by wind, water or glaciers to new locations.
