This rock is made from tiny pieces of other rocks that settled to the bottom of a valley millions of years ago. What type of rock is this?

After many years, pressure, and heat, you get this kind of rock. What type of rock is this?

Fossils are often found in ____________ because it is formed from the remains of once living things.

How does frost wedging cause the physical weathering of rocks? The freezing water—

The process that rock materials are broken down by physical or chemical actions on Earth's surface is called _________.

The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports weathered material is called _____.

Which of the following is not a slow change to Earth's surface?

Which of the following is not a fast change in Earth's surface?

What is sediment?

What is the correct order of the processes that change the physical surface of the Earth?

Which agents break down Earth's materials?

Molten rock that is found above Earth's surface before cooling.

Molten rock material found below Earth's surface is called magma.

A _____ is a solid with atoms arranged in a repeating pattern that was formed from the cooling of magma/lava.

A naturally occurring and usually inorganic solid is called a ______.

Which produces the material for the formation of metamorphic rock?

Landslides, rockfalls, and mudslides are responsible for both erosion and deposition. What force is mainly responsible for the erosion and deposition that happens during these disasters?

Granite forms when magma slowly cools within Earth's crust. Basalt forms when lava cools on Earth's surface. What do both granite and basalt have in common?

Susie observed a rock that she found at the beach. She concluded that the rock was sedimentary. Which observation best supports this conclusion?

A sand dune forming in the desert.

Lava flows in huge sheets on Earth. It cools quickly into obsidian.

Wind and water from a hurricane moving sediment.

The weight and pressure of a mountain over time turn shale into slate.

Powerful ocean waves breaking down rocks over time.

Wind breaks small bits from large rocks. Rain takes the particles to a creek. They drop to the bottom and harden over time into limestone.

A glacier wearing down layers of rock.

Melted rock moves in the Earth. It cools as it nears the Earth's surface.

Sediment settling at the bottom of the ocean.

The continental plates move and make folds in the rock. This pressure can cause granite to form into gneiss.

Rain washing away soil.

The ocean waves blast coral into bits which settle on old shells. The coral and shell particles build up. Over the years, they harden together to form coquina.
