• They are not as important as glaciers and ice sheets

• They are not important because they have a lot of salt

Which step comes first in fossil fuel formation?

• Plant and animal remains get covered by more and more layers of silt and sand

• Layers of matter under high heat and pressure become gas

• Small plants and animals die and are buried on the ocean floor

What most likely caused the crack in the rock?

• wind blowing on the rock

• a glacier moving over the rock

• water freezing into ice

• a volcanic eruption

Based on the fossil shown, the environment in this area millions of years ago was probably...

• a dessert

• an ocean

• a jungle

• a grassland

How can a metamorphic rock become sedimentary rock?

• By adding heat and pressure the metamorphic rock becomes sedimentary rock

• Rocks are weathered and eroded, then sediment is compacted into sedimentary rock

• By melting and cooling magma, it becomes sedimentary rock

• You cannot change metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock

How do sand dunes pile up?

• Desert animals cause changes in the landscape by traveling across it

• Sand particles are transported and carried far away

• Sand particles are dropped and deposited in layers to make a mound of sand

• Sand particles are carried by the wind to a river
