At the beach, you see some sand. You know that sand is sediment (small pieces of rock). How did the sand form?
Rays of energy from the Sun broke a rock into many small pieces.
The Sun's energy heated ocean water, causing it to evaporate. Later, it condensed and precipitated, and that rain caused rocks to break.
The strength of the ocean waves caused a rock to melt. Over time, the melted rock cooled to form the sand.
It is unknown how sediment forms.
What layer of the Earth is below the crust?
The mantle
The core
The pizza
The sediment
In order for magma to cool and harden, it must…
go through the plate motion of uplift
rise up into or above the outer layer
remain deep in the mantle
be exposed to wind
Plate motion...
is the 3rd type of rock
moves rock formations in different ways
always moves rocks upwards to the surface
is only a prediction; it has never been observed.
When a rock formation is uplifted, it…
gets pushed towards the SURFACE and is exposed to energy from the SUN
gets pushed towards the SURFACE and is exposed to energy from Earth's interior
gets pushed towards the MANTLE and is exposed to energy from the SUN
gets pushed towards the MANTLE and is exposed to energy from Earth's Interior
When a rock formation is subducted, it…
gets pushed towards the SURFACE and is exposed to energy from the SUN
gets pushed towards the SURFACE and is exposed to energy from Earth's interior
gets pushed towards the MANTLE and is exposed to energy from the SUN
gets pushed towards the MANTLE and is exposed to energy from Earth's Interior
Rock formations are found in Earth's outer layer. What is always below Earth's outer layer?
Sometimes the ocean, sometimes the mantle
Always the mantle
Always the core
Sometimes the mantle, sometimes pockets of air
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are ___________ and ____________ .
