WED
What is weathering? And what are the agents?
Breaking of rock.
Ice,wind,water
What process leads to the formation of landforms?
WED
What are fossil fuels made from?
Dead plants and animals (organisms)
What are the three types of rocks?
Sedimentary
Igneous
Metamorphic
What does CON stand for?
(hint: fossil fuels)
Coal, oil, natural gas
What is erosion? What are the agents of erosion?
Taking of rock.
Wind, ice, water
Rushing rapid waters forms this landform.
Canyons
How long does it take for fossil fuels to form?
Millions of years
How do you characterize a sedimentary rock?
By its layers
Why are they called fossil fuels?
They form from the remains of organisms or
they are created from dead organisms (plants and animals)
What is deposition? What landform is created from deposition?
Dropping of sediments.
Deltas
What landform is created based on deposition?
Deltas
What is the process of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel, sandstone, shale, sand
Name the order of layers given by the cereal experiment we did in class. Oldest to newest layers. (Not the cereal name)
Coal, sandstone, shale, and sand
What is the process that would help dead organisms change into fossil fuels? (Hint: Starts with a C)
Compression
What is a large mass of ice moving on water/land? What type of landform can this make?
Glacier
U-shaped valley
How are sand dunes created?
Wind blowing sand and creating mounds
Why are fossil fuels considered non-renewable resources? What are some examples of fossil fuels?
They take millions of years to make, too long to be renewable
Coal, oil (petroleum), natural gas
____________ occurs when the weight of sediment and water squeezes sediment grains together. ____________ occurs when minerals fill the spaces between the grains, binding them together.
(Hint: They both start with C and are on your vocab for your study guide)
Compaction; Cementation
What prehistoric event led to the creation of oil?
Life in the sea died and was buried under sediments
Give an example of how WED can create a landform.
Teacher accepted answers
How are sandstone arches created?
The blowing of wind
Fossil fuels are a great source of what?
What are fossil fuels typically used for?
Energy
Electricity
Describe two ways that sandstone can be formed.
Hint: It was on your study guide
Weathered rock particles form layers.
The layers are cemented over time to form rock.

A. The rock has water on it
B. There is sand on the rock
C. It has plant fossils
D. There are shells in one of the layers
D.
