• D. In sedimentary rocks 

The process that squeezes sediments under pressure.

• Compaction
• Acretion
• Containerism
• Cementation

This valley is a result of

• water erosion
• deposition
• glaciers
• wind

Coal, oil, and natural gas are _______________ because they are resources formed over millions of years from the remains of living organisms.

• fossils

• fossil fuels

• organic matter

• sedimentary rocks

While hiking in a forest a girl found a fossil imbedded in a boulder. The fossil is shown.

According to the above information and image, what does the fossil tell us about the nature of the environment in the past?

• The area was once covered by water
• The area was once much cooler
• The area was once a higher elevation
• The area will soon be covered by water

This process "glues" the particles of sediment together:

• cementation

• compaction

• calcification

• weathering
