trace fossils
Process that moves sediment and rocks from one place to another.
Pollution
Erosion
Deposition
Weathering
Rock made of layers of compressed sediments
igneous rock
school house rock
sedimentary rock

The process by which igneous rocks are formed....
heat and pressure
weathering and erosion
melting and cooling
What type of fossil is this?
mold
cast
trace fossil
carbon fossil
Uses radioactive elements near the fossils to determine the actual age of the fossils.
Absolute dating
Relative Dating
As a glaciers moves along the ground, it transports rocks. These rocks pass over the ground and create scratches in the bedrock.
Which statement correctly describes these processes?
The transport of rocks and scratching of the bedrock are both an example of erosion.
The transport of rocks is an example of weathering, and the scratching of the bedrock is an example of erosion.
The transport of rocks is an example of erosion, and the scratching of the bedrock is an example of weathering.
The transport of rocks and scratching of the bedrock are both examples of weathering.
Deforestation means....
removing the forest
adding to the forest
polluting the forest
mapping the forest
What type of fossil is this?
Trace fossil
Cast
Preserved remains
Mold
Hot molten rock inside the Earth can reach Earth's surface during a volcanic eruption. The term for this melted rock is
Lava when it reaches Earth's surface and magma before it reaches Earth's surface.
Magma when it reaches Earth's surface and Lava ehen it is below Earth's surface
Lava
Magma
Wind, water, ice and gravity carry sediments away
erosion
weathering
deposition
cementation
Roots holding soil
biosphere, geosphere
biosphere, atmosphere
hydrosphere, biosphere
geosphere, hydrosphere

Fossils are usually found in
intrusions
extrusions
sedimentary rock

A fossil must be:
naturally formed created by organic processes very old (at least 10,000 years)
identify the correct letter for the choices that are all definitely fossils.
Egyptian Mummy, Ancient pottery, Warm boring in sandstone
Dinosaur tracks, mammoth found in ice, seashells found in limestone
Stone age tools, giant shark teeth, seashells found on a beach
imprints of rain drops, trilobite shells, mud cracks
Which statement is true about the fossil record?
it does not support the theory of evolution
it is a record of all living things
it shoes how our climate has remained the same over time
it provides evidence for history of life on Earth
The name rock is given when it is broken down into smaller pieces
erosion
weathering
sediment
texture
Sediment that is left behind in rivers, lakes, and oceans
erosion
deposition
weathering
cementation
A river starts as a steep channel in the mountains. It then leaves the mountains and enters a flatter area of land. It meanders across a plain. It then branches into smaller rivers. The smaller river the enters the ocean. At which point would the river described form a delta?
when the river meanders across a plain
when the river leaves the mountains
when the rivers enters the ocean
when the river branches into smaller rivers
The best index fossils have which two traits?
specific place, long lifespan
widespread geographically, short lifespan
widespread geographically, long lifespan
specific place, short lifespan
What systems are involved when humans run factories that produce smog?
humans (hydro), factories (bio), smog (atmo)
humans (bio), factories (atmo), smog (hydro)
humans (geo), factories (atmo), smog (bio)
humans (bio), factories (geo), smog (atmo)
Berta knows that sharks have been around for millions of years. She has found a fossil of a shark tooth while taking a core sample of the ocean floor. Assuming that the layers of sediment in the core sample were undisturbed, what is the best way to determine the age of the shark tooth fossil?
Compare it to the teeth of modern sharks to see how different it is.
Examine the tooth's surface to study microscopic evidence of the fossil's age.
Determine the age of the layer of sediment in which the fossil was found compared to other layers above and below it
Test the hardness of the fossil to determine how long it has been fossilizing.
The Law of Superposition helps scientists to determine what?
The absolute age of rock layers
The age of fossils
The super powers of rocks
The relative age of rock layers
Over time, repeated cycles of heating and cooling can cause a rock to crack. The rock may then break into smaller pieces. What is this process called?
Erosion
Weathering
Deposition
Subsidence
Sustainability is...
using up of a resource
how much of a resource that can be used
making a resource last
reusing a resource
Erosion is the process by which soil and sediment are moved by wind, water, or gravity. Erosion occurs naturally, but it can be accelerated by human activity. Which of these human activities least contributes to soil erosion?
Surface mining
Urban Sprawl
Improper plowing of furrows
Planting trees
