TEKS:

5.7 A,D Sedimentary Rocks and Fossils

5.7B Changes to Earth/Landforms

5.7C Alternative Energy

5.8A Weathering and Climate

5.8 C,D Sun, Earth, and Moon

Weathering, Erosion, Deposition

• Weathering= the breaking down of rock into pieces of sediments.

• Erosion= the moving of sediment

• Deposition= the dropping off sediment in a new location

W.E.D.C.C.

How is Sedimentary Rock formed?

• 1 WEATHERING

• 2 EROSION

• 3 DEPOSITION

• 4 COMPACTION

• 5 CEMENTATION

• SEDIMENTARY ROCK

Compaction and cementation

is the process in which sediments are squizzed and glued together by minerals.

Multiple Choice

Process in which sediments are squizzed and glued together by minerals.

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Compaction and cementation

• Weathering

FOSSILS

Fossils are the preserved remains of an animal, such as the animal’s bones, or impressions of the animal’s activities, such as footprints.

An extinct animal is one that is no longer found on Earth today.

Fossils help us understand why an animal went extinct.

Fossils help us understand why an animal went extinct.

Scientists can learn a lot about the history of life from fossils.

How did plants and animals become fossils?

Fossils can be made from the actual remains of an organism. Over time, the sediment over the dead organism hardens into rock.

Canyon

The wind and water carried away the soil to make the canyon. 

Delta

The water from the river carried soil down the river and dumped it at the end.

Valley

The ice from the glacier carved out the valley.

Sandune

The wind carried away some of the sand and piled it up to make the dunes. 

Multiple Choice

What is an example of a slow change?

• Volcanic erutions

• Erosion

• Landslide

Multiple Choice

What is an example of a fast change?

• weathering

• deposition

• earth quake

Multiple Choice

Changes to the earth form by_______________.

• wind and water

• wind, water, and ice

• ice and water

Renewable Energy

A renewable energy source means energy that is sustainable - something that can't run out, or is endless, like the sun. When you hear the term 'alternative energy' it's usually referring to renewable energy sources too.
