What information do you need to draw a topographic map?
You need to know the land features and how tall or flat they are to draw the contour lines.
True or false: Igneous or metamorphic rock can be broken down into pieces or sediment.
True.
What are the two processes that create most or all landforms/features?

Cycle.
Geologists study how long it takes to separate particles from parent material. They study what causes particles to separate.
They are studying...
A. Earthquakes
B. Deposition
C. Weathering
Where is somewhere on our planet you might find volcanoes?
In the Ring of Fire of the Pacific Ocean. Volcanoes are caused by the collision of plates around the Pacific Ocean.

Over time, sediment particles are collected and cemented together to form __________________rock.
Sedimentary.
Geologists took a sample of rock and dirt from the bottom of a lake. They asked what all the rocks and dirt were made from. Then they looked at the material that was left behind to form new features in the land.
This process where particles are left to create new features is called...
