Sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels

Sedimentary Rocks

A look into how sedimentary rocks are formed

​Sedimentary Rock Process- 

1. ​Weathering- the rock breaks down

2. ​Erosion- the sediment gets moved by wind and water

3. ​Deposition- the sediment gets deposited.

4. ​Compaction- the sediment gets pressed together.

5. ​Cementation- sediment gets stuck together from the process.

Multiple Choice

Sedimentary rock layers can form at the bottom of seas. This is because sediment grains fall to the bottom and are _______.

• weathered

• deposited

• eroded

• compacted

Multiple Choice

Sediments like sand are evidence that a large rock or mountain has been made into smaller pieces by-

• weathering

• deposition

• compaction

• erosion

Multiple Choice

The process in the formation of sedimentary rock, that glues the sediments together.

• weathering

• compaction

• cementation

• deposition

Multiple Choice

The process of layers become stuck together like glue forming sedimentary rock ..

• pressure

• decaying

• erosion

• cementation

Multiple Choice

When pressure is applied to sediments causing them to squeeze close together is called . . . 

• cementation

• compaction

• deposition

• erosion

Multiple Choice

Rock formed when particles of other are deposited in layers and are compacted (crushed together) and cemented (binding of the sediments).

• Fossil Fuels

• Sedimentary Rock

• Volcanos

• Mountains

Fossil Fuels are non-renewable resources

​Don't forget, they take millions of years to form!

Renewable Resources

​These types of resources NEVER expire and can get turned into other types of energies: electrical, thermal, etc. (M.E.L.T.S)
