Sediments are
rocks that are weathered by water.
deposited pieces of eroded material.
the chemicals that make up rocks.
Minerals are
rocks that are weathered by water.
deposited pieces of eroded material.
the chemicals that make up rocks.
What is a glacier?
U shaped valley
slow moving river of ice
weathered bits of rocks and soil
What is the process of ice wedging?
Snow and rocks are deposited in layers and form sedimentary rock.
Water in a pond freezes into a single piece of ice.
Cracks in a rock get bigger when water inside them freezes.
How does rainwater cause erosion?
it hits the soil to loosen it
it dissolves the minerals in the rock
it creates streams that carry away soil
it grinds the ground with sand as water rushes over it
The new layers that a rainstorm deposits ________ the older layers.
are the same color as
contain the same materials as
might have different colors than
are always made of different materials than
Ice wedging causes weathering because
gravity makes pieces of rock fall off.
Ice melts and spreads the rock apart.
water freezes and makes cracks bigger.
all of the above
Sedimentary rocks are
the least common type of rock.
the newest layers of sediments.
rocks created from deposited materials.
Which of the following is an example of weathering?
roots breaking down rock
tree holding soil in place
water washing away soil
