Rock Cycle
The process that creates metamorphic rocks.
heat and pressure
A landform that would only be found in a cold climate
What is a glacier?
An independent variable
The variable being tested to see if it makes a difference
process that break down the land
What is weathering?
The process that creates sediments.
weathering and erosion
These are water-bearing rocks and where 90% of Florida get it's water supply.
What are aquifers?
A dependent variable
The variable being measured in the experiment.
When sediments are dropped after being eroded
What is deposition?
The process that creates Sedimentary rocks.
Cementation and compacting?
The landform created by sediments being deposited at the bank of a River
What is a Delta?
Control group
The variable that is not changed. (Stays under normal condition)
When sediments are transported from one location to another.
What is erosion?
These are the three types of rocks
Igneous, Sedimentary and metamorphic?
This landform is created by wind and water when they erode and deposit sand.
What is Dune
Experimental group
What is being tested
Interaction of rocks with chemicals that change their composition.
What is chemical weathering?
The process that creates Igneous rocks.
Cooling of magma?
This landform is created in Florida as seeping water dissolves underground limestones.
What are sinkholes?
Hypothesis
A concept or idea that is tested through research or experiments.
The bulk of Florida’s peninsula is made up carbonate rock (limestone and dolostone) overlain by variable thicknesses and mixtures of sand and clay. Carbonate rocks store and transmit groundwater. Through a slow chemical process these carbonate rocks may also dissolve, which of the following landforms is a result of the chemical weathering of carbonate rock?
What is sinkholes?
