Erosion
300
Which process helps to create sedimentary rocks when sediments stop moving and build up in layers?
deposition
300
Igeneous rock must first be broken into sediments through the process of _____ before it can become a sedimentary rock.
Weathering
300
An igneous rock is buried below Earth's surface and experiences heat and pressure to become ______.
Metamorphic
300
Water seeps into cracks of rock, freezes and expands. When it thaws rock is broken apart.
weathering
400
The process of _______ occurs when layers of sediment experience pressure and become squeezed together.
compaction
400
Sedimentary rocks are the only type to contain _____.
fossils
400

Magma
400
Wind blows sand particles from the beach inland to create sand dunes.
Erosion
500
The last process involved in creating sedimentary rock, occurs when water moves into the spaces between sediment and glues layers together.
Cementation
500
When igeneous rock is formed rock has _____ into magma and then _________.
melted, cooled
500
A sedimentary rock breaks into smaller pieces due to weathering and creates sediments. These sediments are moved by water to a new location and deposited. Layers become compacted and cemented to for which type of rock?
Sedimentary
500
Plant roots grow into rock and break it apart.
Weathering
