Rock Cycle
What process causes sedimentary rock to form?
Compaction and Cementation
The process in which liquid water is changed into water vapor.
Evaporation
This land form is formed when wind carries sand and deposits it in another location in large amounts.
Sand Dune
We have the day and night cycle because of this.
The rotation of the earth.
Why does oil float on top of water?
Oil is less dense than water
This process breaks down rocks into smaller peices
Weathering
The most important part of the water cycle is
The Sun
The 2 types of valleys are what? AND...How are they formed..
U-Shaped-formed by glaciers
V-Shaped-formed by rivers
this cycle takes 28 days to complete
The moon cycle or revolution around the earth.
The force that resists you pushing a desk across the floor is called...
Friction
What is the stage where material is moved to another location by either wind or water.
Erosion
The process in which liquid water falls back to the earth is called..
Precipitation
This landform is formed by rivers depositing their sediment once they reach the ocean.
Delta
When is the shortest shadows of the day.
12pm or noon.
The difference between a mixture and a solution is..
Mixture you can see the different parts and separate them. In a solution you cant see the different parts or separate them. The look uniform.
There are 3 types of rocks. Which type of rock has layers and fossils can be found there.
Sedimentary Rock
The part of the water cycle where water vapor is changed into liquid water
Condensation
Another word for a valley is
Canyon
When are the longest shadows of the day.
Late afternoon or before sunset
Explain the difference between a conductor and an insulator.
Conductors allows energy or heat to transfer while insulators do not.
What process contributes to the formation of a Delta?
Deposition
The four types of precipitation are
Rain, snow, sleet, and Hail
Name TWO landforms are created mainly by deposition.
Sand Dunes and Deltas
Explain the difference between rotation and revolution.
Rotation the earth is spinning and revolution the earth is revolving around the sun.
Name the 3 states of matter. AND in which one do the particles have the greatest amount of energy.
Solid, liquid, gas.
Gas particles have the greatest amount of energy because they have more space between them.
