Erosion is the process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves weathered rock and soil from one place to another.

Front

Why do we tend to use non-renewable resources instead of renewable resources?

Back

We tend to use non-renewable resources because they are often less expensive and provide more energy.

Front

What is an example of Erosion?

Back

Muddy water being carried away by a fast-moving river is an example of erosion.

Front

What process is NOT involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?

Back

Cooling is NOT involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. The processes include cementation, deposition, and erosion.

Front

What is Cleavage in minerals?

Back

Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces.

Front

What is Density?

Back

Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume, often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

What is Weathering?

Back

Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces by natural forces.

Front

What is Deposition?

Back

Deposition is the process by which sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.

Front

What are Renewable Resources?
