Earth Science Review: Lithosphere

Rock that forms when pressure, temperature, or chemical processes change existing rock.

• Igneous Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Rock Cycle

The process by which water, wind, ice, and changes in temperature BREAK DOWN rock into fragments called sediments.

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Igneous Rock

How are igneous rocks made?

• heat and pressure

• melting and cooling

• weathering, erosion, compaction and cementing

What types of rocks can become Metamorphic Rocks?

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

Which processes make sedimentary rocks?

• weathering

• compaction

• cementing

• erosion

What is erosion?

• Sediments are stuck together

• Sediments are moved from one place to another

• Sediments are stopped in a new place

• Rocks are broken down into sediments

Which kind of weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through direct contact with atmospheric conditions such as heat, water, ice and pressure?

• physical
• chemical

An example of chemical weathering is -

• Ice wedging

• Oxidation

• Animals burrowing

• Crashing waves

Ice wedging is an example of -

• Physical weathering

• Chemical weathering

• Both physical AND chemical weathering
