Rock cycle
What is the first rock cycle? A.weathering and erosion, B. compaction, C. fossil fuels, D. cementation
A.weathering and erosion
This happens when the sun heats water, and it turns into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
A high area of land that rises above the land around it.
What is a mountain?
This star is at the center of our solar system.
What is the sun?
I am the force that pulls objects toward the Earth and keeps you from floating into space. What am I?
Gravity
This type of rock forms when melted rock cools and hardens.
What is igneous rock
This happens when water vapor cools and forms clouds.
What is condensation?
A large, flat area of land that is higher than the land around it.
What is a plateau?
This planet is known as the Red Planet.
What is Mars?
I am made of tiny particles too small to see, and everything around you is made of me. I have protons, neutrons, and electrons. What am I?
An atom
This rock forms when layers of sand, mud, and tiny pieces of rock get pressed together over time.
What is sedimentary rock
This happens when water falls from clouds to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
What is precipitation?
A low area of land between hills or mountains.
What is a valley?
This force keeps planets orbiting the Sun.
What is gravity?
I am the process plants use to make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. I also release oxygen into the air. What am I?
Photosynthesis
This rock forms when heat and pressure change another rock deep inside Earth.
What is metamorphic rock?
This part of the water cycle happens when water soaks into the ground instead of flowing over the surface.
What is infiltration?
A flat area of land with very few trees.
What is a plain?
This galaxy contains our solar system.
What is the Milky Way?
I am the tiny structure inside a cell that acts like the brain, controlling the cell’s activities and holding genetic material. What am I?
The nucleus
(6 grade hard) This process happens when rocks are buried deep underground and changed by intense heat and pressure, creating a new kind of rock.
What is metamorphism
(6th grade) After precipitation falls, some water flows over land into rivers, lakes, and oceans instead of soaking into the ground.
What is runoff?
(hard 6th grade)How are landforms changed over time?
Landforms change over time through processes like weathering, erosion, and deposition. Wind, water, ice, and gravity slowly break down rock and move sediment to new places, which can create or reshape landforms
(7th)What is space?
Space is the vast area beyond Earth’s atmosphere where stars, planets, moons, and galaxies exist.
I am the process where one substance changes into a new substance with different properties, often showing signs like color change, gas, or heat. What am I?
A chemical reaction
