What is a sedimentary rock
100
In this process, rocks are broken down into progressively smaller pieces by the effects of weather. These pieces do not move to a new location, they simply break down, but remain next to one another
What is weathering
100
a continuous process by which rocks are created, changed from one form to another, destroyed, and then formed again

What is igneous rock
200
When sediment is moved by wind, water, or ice.
What is erosion

When you add heat to sedimentary rock it becomes this.

You want to test if exercise makes you sleep more. For an entire week you do not do any exercise. You measure how long you sleep each night and find the average. The next week, without changing anything else about your day, you add in jumping rope for thirty minutes. You measure how long you sleep each night and find the average time. In this experiment, the change from not exercising to exercising is...

You want to test if you run faster with or without sneakers. First, you run 100 meters without sneakers. You repeat this five times, measuring how long it takes you to run, each time you run. When you are no longer tired from running, you do the same experiment, this time wearing sneakers. In this experiment, the time it takes you to run without sneakers versus with sneakers is...
