A rock formed by sediment deposited in layers
What is sedimentary rock.
100
Formed over_____________ of years
What is millions
100
Resources that never run out

200
The movement of broken particles by the forces of wind, water or ice.
What is erosion
200
Can be u-shaped when formed by a glacier or v-shaped when formed by a river.
What is a valley
200
These layers are always the oldest and will become sedimentary rock first.
What are the bottom layers
200
The three types of fossil fuels
What are coal, oil and natural gas
200
Alternative resource produced by biomass (crops,trash, wood, manure)
What is biofuel
300
The process of dropping off eroded particles in a new place.
What is deposition

Can carry sand and create sand dunes.
What is wind.

Landform created by the deposition of sediment at the mouth of a river.
What is a delta
400
These are examples of sedimentary rock
What is conglomerate and sandstone

These fossil fuels are often found together.
What are oil and natural gas
400
This is necessary in order for a hydroelectric plant to work.
What is the force of running water
500
Can cause rapid changes like landslides or cause glaciers to move slowly.
What is gravity
500
Examples are wind, water, ice and gravity.
