Claim
Evidence
Reasoning
Definition for Claim.
4 spheres!
Biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, & geosphere
Name the 3 evidence used to prove our claim.
-Evidence A: Geological process of flowing water
-Evidence C: Flowing water model
-Evidence F: Image of the conglomerate rock on Mars
How are the flowing water model and rivers similar?
Both push away down the channel.
Model: sand push down the channel model.
River: flowing water carves pieces of rock down the channel.
Definition of sediment rock
Pieces of rock are loosened by flowing water, then transported (erosion) to the bottom of the channel. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
