This is what causes a shadow.

An object that blocks light.

100

These are the three agents of change.

Wind, water, and ice

100

This is the reason the sun appears to move across the sky throughout the day.

Earth's rotation

100

The step in the water cycle when water falls back to Earth's surface.

Precipitation

100

These are three different types of fossil fuels.

Coal, oil, and natural gas

200

The time of day that the shadow is the shortest.

Noon

200

These are the three processes that cause slow change to Earth's surface.

Weathering, erosion, and deposition
200

The length of time it takes for Earth to complete one full rotation.

1 Day = 24 Hours

200

This provides the water cycle with the energy it needs.

The Sun

200

The oldest layers of sediment can be found here.

At the bottom

300

The time of day that shadows are the longest.

Sunrise and sunset

300

The name of the landform that is created when sediment is eroded by wind and then deposited and builds up in a new position.

Sand dunes

300

The two ways that shadows change as the sun appears to move.

Size (or length) and position (or direction)

300

As warm air on land rises, this moves in to take its place.

Cool air

300

Because they take millions of years to form, fossil fuels are considered this type of resource.

Nonrenewable

400
The direction that shadows appear in the morning.

West

400

The name of the landform that is created when sediment is eroded by by water to the mouth of a river and then deposited and builds up to form new land.

Delta

400

Along with The Sun, these appear to move across the sky due to Earth's rotation.

Stars

400

This heats up and cools down faster than land.

Water

400

The two final steps needed for sedimentary rock to form.

Compaction and cementation

500

The directions that shadows appear in the afternoon.

East

500

The name of the landform that is created when sediment is weathered and eroded by water, leaving behind steep, vertical cliffs.

Canyon

500

We know that Earth rotates on its axis, but this is  another movement that Earth makes.

Orbits around The Sun

500

The step in the water cycle where gas cools and becomes liquid.

Condensation

500

This must be covered by sediment for millions of years for fossil fuels to form.
