Sedimentary Rock

Over long periods of time, fossil fuels form deep underground. Which components are related to the formation of fossil fuels?

• Lave, sand, and decayed animals
• Decayed plants, lava, minerals
• Decayed plants and animals and water from the ocean
• Decayed plants and animals and sedimentary rocks

Rocks will break down into smaller pieces. What are those pieces called?

• Crust
• Fossils
• Plates
• Sediment

Wind, water or ice creaking apart sediments

• sand dune

• delta

• weathering

• canyon

Where sediments are deposited at the place where the river meets the ocean

• sand dune

• delta

• weathering

• canyon

A large pile of deposited sand moved by wind

• sand dune

• delta

• erosion

• landform

When wind, water or ice is moving sediments across the land

• sand dune

• delta

• canyon

• erosion

A narrow opening in the Earth created by movement of wind and water

• sand dune

• delta

• canyon

• landform

Which condition is necessary for dunes to form?

• loose, sandy sediments and strong winds

• Frequent rains and abundant plant life

• Strong ocean currents and large boulders

• Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes

Canyons and delta are in common because they both form

• high in the tallest mountains

• where lots of sediments collect

• in and around active volcanoes

• due to the action of moving water

Layers of rock formed when sediments are deposited, compacted and then cemented over time.

• fossil fuels

• sedimentary rock

• landforms
