Sedimentary Rocks
What process is known for squeezing sediments together which removes water or air from spaces between particles of sediment
Compaction
Name the 3 types of Fossil Fuels
Coal, Oil and Natural Gas
What water cycle process separates water from salt?
Evaporation
Does wind release pollution
No
Can tree trimmings be composted?
Yes
Name the 5 processes of Sedimentary Rocks
Weathering > Erosion > Deposition > Compaction > Cementation
What is the FIRST step of forming a fossil fuel?
Remains of plants (and animals) sink to the bottom of the swamp/ocean and is covered by sediments/water
When water cools down what does it form?
Precipitation (water droplets)
Name one reason why we should use solar power
1. No Pollution
2. Renewable Resource
3. Reduce the use of Fossil Fuels
Why should we recycle
Recycling allows us to reduce the waste at landfills, conserve natural resources, minimizes pollution
What is Cementation
The process through which loose sediment is stuck together and hardened by minerals
Name a difference between how Oil and Coal form
1. Oil forms in an ocean / Coal forms in a swamp
2. Oil is a liquid / Coal is a solid
3. Oil is from plants AND animals / Coal is from only plants
What water cycle process does the Sun provide energy for?
Evaporation
How can we have a positive impact
By conserving natural resources, Recycling etc.
What is plastic made of
Fossil Fuel (Oil)
What processes occur below Earth's Surface
Compaction and Cementation
What 2 factors are required to form a fossil fuel
Heat and Pressure
Where does most water come from?
The ocean
Name one reason how we can conserve paper
1. Use both sides of paper
2. Recycle paper
3. Reuse paper for art projects
What is pollution
Any harmful substance that affects Earth’s land, air or water
Name a type of Sedimentary Rock
Sandstone, Shale, Limestone and Conglomerate
How is it possible for Natural Gas to be found beneath dry land?
Millions of years ago there once was an ocean where Natural Gas formed beneath the surface but the ocean dried up.
How do you think wind effects precipitation?
The wind blows the clouds to other locations and the clouds will release a form of precipitation
What is one way we can conserve the use of fossil fuels
1. Walk or Bike
2. Turn off appliances that require fossil fuels (ex: gas stove)
Why should we not throw away motor oil
It is flammable and can damage the environment (Think about BP Oil Spill!)
