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

Rocks that are buried deep inside Earth are exposed to extremely high temperatures experience melting and become ____.

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
