What is a full moon?
This type of rock forms when melted rock cools and hardens.
What is igneous rock?
This process breaks rocks into smaller pieces without moving them.
What is weathering?
Coal, oil, and natural gas belong to this category of Earth’s resources.
What are nonrenewable resources?
A statement based on what you SEE, such as “the rock is broken into small pieces.”
What is an observation?
This daily sky pattern happens because Earth spins once every 24 hours.
What is day and night?
These natural, nonliving solids make up all rocks.
What are minerals?
This force moves rocks, sand, and soil from one place to another.
What is erosion?
Solar, wind, and water energy belong to this category often labeled “other renewables.”
What are renewable resources?
A statement that explains what you observe, such as “gravity pulled the rocks.”
What is an inference?
These star patterns appear during certain seasons because Earth travels around the Sun each year.
What are constellations?
This category of rock forms from layers being pressed and cemented together over long periods.
What is sedimentary rock?
