The diagram above shows the sequence of the process that turn solid rock into sandstone. Which two processes best complete this diagram?
Melting and cooling
Erosion and compaction
Compaction and cementation
Evaporation and dissolving
Fossil fuels formed over long periods of time after particles in water settled to the sea floor and formed marine mud. What kinds of particles needed to be present in the marine mud in order for fossil fuels to form?
Mostly sand and a few small bits of wood
mostly decaying organisms
mostly lava and a few sedimentary rocks
mostly metal minerals
Erosion is one of the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock. Which of these best describes the process of erosion?
Rocks are broken into smaller pieces that remain in the same location.
Pressure compacts layers of sediment and turns them into rock.
Pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another.
Sediments grains fall to the bottom lake to form sedimentary layers.
The diagram below shows the processes of sedimentary rock formation. Which process best fit in the box marked with an X?
Weather and Compaction
Erosion and Cementation
Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
Melting, Cooling, and Deposition
