The physical and chemical process called _________ transform sediments into sedimentary rocks.

Glaciers and landslides tend to create _________ in which sediments of different sizes are mixed together.

During ________, the minerals in a rock are dissolved or otherwise chemically changed.

The process by which mineral growth binds sediments grains together into solid rock is __________.

Weather produces _______, which are rock and mineral fragments.

When sediments become cemented together, they form ____________.

During _________, minerals remain chemically unchanged, and rock fragments simply break off of the solid rock along fractures or grain boundaries.

As a result of _________, sediments are laid down on the ground or on the bottom of bodies of water.

Sediments tend to form ________ when transported by water and wind.

The primary feature of sedimentary rocks is horizontal layering called ________. This feature results from the way sediment settles out of water or wind.

Bedding in which the particle sizes become progressively finer and lighter toward the top layer is called __________.

Small-scale __________ forms on sandy beaches and along sandbars in streams and rivers. Most large scale _________ is formed by migrating sand dunes.

Occurs when rocks come into contact with molten rock.

Rock whose texture, mineralogy, or chemical composition has been altered without melting it

Occurs when very hot water reacts with rock
