What are the the three types of agents that contribute to the formation of landforms?
Wind, water, and ice
A natural, nonrenewable fuel such as coal, oil, or natural gas formed a very long time ago from the remains of living organisms
Fossil Fuel
Characteristics that can be observed or measured; for example, color, melting point, and conductivity
Physical Properties
Give me an example of a sedimentary rock.
Answers will vary
Oil is made by dead animals and plants in the ocean. The heat and pressure then transforms them into oil.
This landform can be caused by the erosion and deposition of tiny rock particles.
Sand Dune
A flammable material, without a definite form, produced from remains of marine organisms buried under layers of sediment found near oil deposits
Natural Gas

This landform is caused by the deposition of eroded sediments.
Delta
The waste and remains of plants and animal
Organic Matter
The bending or redirection of energy waves as they pass from one substance to another
Refraction
What is the difference between compaction and cementation?
Compaction has to deal with pressure
Cementation has to deal with heat.
What are the two major components necessary for the formation of fossil fuels?
Heat and pressure
This landform can be formed by erosion of glaciers.
