Fossil Fuel
A source of non-renewable energy that formed over millions of years from plant and animal remains that are deep underground
A fault is a fracture, or break, caused by the motion of massive slabs of rock in the earth's crust.
Fault
Herbivore
Deer
Waves
A pattern of motion that transfers energy.
How fast a wave moves in a given amount of time.
Frequency
Non-Renewable Energy
Sources of energy that cannot be easily or quickly replenished. Examples of non-renewable sources include coal, oil, and natural gas.
Tiny, broken up bits of rocks and shells.
Sediments
Omnivore
Crest
the peak of a wave, or the highest point.
A wave that moves perpendicular (or up and down) to the direction in which the wave travels (Example: Ocean Wave).
Transverse Wave
Deposition
After pieces of Earth are carried away by erosion they are deposited somewhere else
The way that something is put together and what it is made of.
Composition
Carnivore
Lion
Trough
the valley of a wave, or the lowest point.
A wave that moves parallel (or back and forth) to the direction in which the wave travels (Example: Slinky).
Longitudinal Wave
Erosion
The process by which soil and rock is removed from one area of the earth through natural causes such as wind, water, and ice and transported elsewhere
The process of water getting into cracks in rocks and then freezing and expanding. This process causes cracks to get bigger and bigger over time, and may break apart the rock.
Mechanical Weathering
Amplitude
the total height of a wave.
Energy waves that have electric and magnetic fields. (Example: radio waves)
Electromagnetic Waves
Weathering
The wearing away or breaking down of rock or other earth materials.
The process of scraping or wearing something away
Abrasion
Frost Wedging
Potholes
Wavelength
The distance between two crests of a wave, or two wave troughs.
Waves that travel through Earth, resulting from earthquakes, volcanoes, or explosions.
Seismic Waves
