Landforms
What landform forms from water cutting through the Earth's surface?
A canyon
What are the three fossil fuels?
Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas
What are slow processes that change the Earth's surface?
Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
What does Erosion mean?
Moving sediments from one place to another
What does striations mean?
stripes or layers of rock
What is the difference between a U-shaped valley and a V-shaped valley?
U-shaped is formed from a glacier.
V-shaped is formed from a river/stream.
What forms fossil fuels?
dead plants, animals, and micro organisms
What are the forces that drive the changes of the Earth's surface?
Wind, Water, Ice, and Waves
A rock that forms when layers of sediments are pressed together
Sedimentary Rock
How are deltas formed?
Deltas are formed from sediments being deposited from the mouth of rivers.
Where is coal located?
at the bottom of lakes, swamps, or underground
How are sedimentary rocks formed?
from the compaction and cementation of sediments in layers.
What was the trick Ms. Jenkins taught you to remember stalactites and stalagmites?
Stalactites- are tight to the ceiling
Stalagmites- might reach the ceiling
What are the three caves we talked about in class?
Sea Cave
Lava Cave
Limestone Cave
What is something similar between a sand dune and a delta?
Either answer:
Both are formed from deposition
Both form drop sediments off in piles
Tell me the process on how fossil fuels are formed.
Fossil fuels are formed from layers of decayed plants, animals, or micro organisms that are buried over millions of years.
Sand washing up onto a beach is an example of...
Deposition
What is the difference between compaction and cementation?
Compaction is pressure and Cementation is the glue that hardens rocks.
How are caves formed?
From water and minerals dropping slowly creating stalactites and stalagmites.
What is a similar between canyons and deltas?
Moving water help both of them form
What does nonrenewable mean?
Resources that can not be replaced. It takes a long time for them to form.
Create one example for the following words:
Weathering
Erosion
Deposition
Ms. Jenkins will decide.
A glacier is a large mass of slowly moving ice that carves new features and deposits sediments.
Sing me the Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition song. Everyone in your group must be loud and have the correct motions.
Are they right?
