After several layers of rock and dirt build up, they are pushed and stuck together in two processes called what?

When layers of decaying plants and animals are exposed to a lot of heat and pressure, they eventually become what?

The breaking down of rocks into smaller fragments is called:

What is the process that moves sediment from one location to another?

Which of the following are needed for fossils to turn into fossil fuels?

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

Which is the movement of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity?

What is oil and natural gas formed from?

Which of the following was formed from plant remains?

What term describes the process by which sediments are pressed together under their own weight?

What is the process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together?

What is the process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another?

What is the process by which rock is broken down into smaller pieces by physical means?

Which diagram models the process of compaction leading to the formation of Sedimentary Rock?

The model below shows layers of sediment on the floor of an ocean. Which of the following best explains how these layers can become rock over many years?

The diagram below shows the sequence of the processes that turn solid rock into sandstone. Which two processes best complete this diagram?

Several layers of sedimentary rock are illustrated. They are in the same order as when they first formed. Which layer formed first?

Which of the following is NOT a fossil fuel.

Fossil fuels are a _______________________.

What is the other name for oil

Fossil Fuels are

Coal is a __________ energy resource.

Which fossil fuel is created by the picture shown?

Which fossil fuel is made from the process shown in the picture?

Any living thing- plants, animals, and bacteria

the waste and remains of plants and animals.

A type of rock that forms in layers when sediments from a weathered rock were eroded and deposited in the ocean, where the compaction and cementation turned them into a new rock.

small pieces of rock, soil, and other materials.

dropped off of sediments in new locations

the breaking down of rocks

the process by which sediments are pressed together (squeeze) under water and layers of other sediments (pressure).

the process by which dissolved minerals in the water glue particles of sediment together into one rock.

the preserved remains or traces of organisms that once lived on Earth. They are important because they provide evidence of the past.

The 5 processes that lead to the formation of Sedimentary Rock- Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction and Cementation.

non-renewable forms of energy that we use to meet our needs- Coal, Oil and Natural Gas (CONG).

materials made by nature that are used by living things

a solid fossil fuel that forms underground millions of years ago from dead plant material by the heat underground and pressure of the layers above it.

a liquid fossil fuel formed from marine(sea) organisms that were buried and over time heat and pressure from underground turned them into a fuel.

a gas fossil fuel that formed from marine(sea) organisms that were buried and over time heat and pressure from underground turned them into a fuel.

more than enough; plentiful; a lot

to save by using wisely and carefully
