Q2. Is the rock shown an igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rock; layers of rocks have been squeezed and cemented together
100
Name the chronological order of landscape modification
Weathering, erosion, and depositor.

Paleontologists is the study of....
scientists who study fossils
100
Scientists use rock layers to determine the relative age of fossils. The oldest fossils are found in
the deepest rock layers.

Q1. Explain how sedimentary rock forms
Sediment settles in layers that are squeezed and cemented together over time
200
Q6. What kind of landform is pictured below? How did it form?
Sand dune; wind and water carried particles from one place to another

Q8 from TEKS practice

How does a fossil form? Tell me the steps: like where does it go and what has to cover it etc. (page 246-247)
1) an animals dies and sinks ot the bottom of a lake. The soft part decays
2) sand, mud, and other sediments settle on top of it.
3) more layers of sediments form
4) it hardens into a rock.
5) creates fossils. (page

What are the 3 type of rocks and how are they formed? Refer back to the rock cycle
Igneous rock – Forms when magma or lava cools and hardens.
(Example: Basalt)Sedimentary rock – Forms when sediments are pressed and cemented together over time.
(Example: Sandstone)Metamorphic rock – Forms when heat and pressure change an existing rock.
(Example: Marble)

Why are fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas called nonrenewable resources?
They cannot be replaced easily.
300
Q5. How do water, erosion, and deposition form deltas?
River water carries away sediments. When the water reaches the ocean, it slows and drops the sediment, forming deltas.
300
What are the 3 R's when it comes to conserving resources.
Reduce, reuse, recycle

Q13 from TEKS practice
Paleontologists might create a museum display that shows how texas looked when it was covered by ocean. They could include ocean plants and animals from time period.
300
Give me 3 ways minerals can move through erosion.
rivers, rain, waves, glaciers. ect
400
What role do igneous rocks play in forming sedimentary rocks?
Pieces of igneous rock provide the sediment for sedimentary rocks.
400
What is erosion? Give an example
Movement of soil from one place to another. River carrying rocks down.
400
what is the difference between renewable and inexhaustible energy? Give an example of each.
renewable can be replaced. Inexhaustible will NEVER run out.

Q12 from TEKS practice
Frist: Remains of an animal get buried
Second: the remains break down and disappear, leaving the space empty
Third: minerals fill the space and harden.
400
How does wind cause erosion?
Wind blows dry sand and soil to new places.
500
Q3. How do fossil fuels form?
heat and pressure turn the buried fossil remains of plants and animals into fossil fuels over million of years.
