Rock Cycle
Earth Systems
Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
Natural Resources
100
This process changes water liquid to a gass
What is Evaporation
100
Sedimentary rocks are formed by adding what to various sediments/sand
Pressure
100
This system contains all of the living things?
What is the Biosphere
100
This is the process by which rocks are broken down by water, wind, and humans
What is Weathering
100
A natural resource that can be replenished naturally or through human intervention at a rate that can keep up with its consumption
Renewable Resource
200
What forces assists in the process of precipitation causing rain to fall from the clouds.
Gravity
200
When molten rock emerges as lava and is cooled it forms these
Igneous Rocks
200
When we are talking about landforms, rocks, minerals, erosion and weathering; we are talking about what system?
What is the Geosphere
200
The process by which sediment is left behind as it moves through the geosphere
Deposition
200
A natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough to keep up with consumption.
Non-Renewable Resource
300
Water that is not absorbed by the crust that flows over land to return back to a stream, river, lake or ocean
Runn-off
300
Rock exposed to pressure and heat creates this type of rock.
Metamorphic
300
All of Earth's water fits into this system.
what is the Hydrosphere
300
The movement of weathered material
What is erosion
300
Oil is an example of this.
What is a non-renewable resource
400
Water can be found in these 3 states of matter
solid, liquid and, gas
400
This is a picture of sandstone. What type of rock is this based on the picture?
Sedimentary Rock
400
This system contains the Earth's gases that surround the earth
Atmosphere
400
The Statue of Liberty is an example of this type of weathering
Chemical Weathering
400
This renewable resources covers more than 70% of the earth's surface, has its own sphere or system, and has been around since the dinosaurs
What is water
500
Most of Earth's fresh water can be found
ground water or frozen/glaciers
500
Sedimentary rocks can become metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks can be changed into sedimentary rocks, and igneous rocks can be transformed into metamorphic rocks via this process.
The Rock Cycle
500
Describe one way the various Earth systems are interconnected and impact one another
Answers will vary and will be awarded points per the teacher's discretion.
500
Describe one way this landform could be formed
The teacher will have the final say if your description is correct.
500
Describe why oil is a non-renewable natural resource.
Teacher will determine if your answer is correct.
