What is it called when something gets added to make the beach size bigger 

inputs 

100

Earth’s crust is made of these rigid structures that move slowly on top of the fluid mantle.

Tectonic Plates

100
What is it called when something gets taken away from a beach to make it smaller 

Outputs

100
What is the breaking down of rocks and minerals on Earths surface by chemical, physical, or biological processes 

Weathering 

200

Rocks formed by modifying existing rocks, adding heat and pressure. Forms below Earth's surface

Metamorphic 

200

True or False: A beach will get bigger if there are more outputs than inputs 

False 

200

This process uses heat and pressure to change igneous or sedimentary rock into this specific type of rock.

Metamorphic Rock

200

What is the geological process where Earth's crust rises vertically due to tectonic forces 

Uplift

300

Rocks formed from compression and cementation of deposits of solid particles. May form at or below Earth's surface. 

Sedimentary 

300

This term describes the process of rock layers being pushed from deep underground up to the Earth's surface. through tectonic plate activity?

Uplift

300

What will happen if the beaches inputs and outputs remain the same over a long period of time 

Nothing, beach will stay the same 

300

What is the surface process that removes solid/dissolved materials from one location to another

Erosion 

400

Rocks formed by crystallization and cooling of melted rock. May form at or below Earth's surface

Igneous 

400

After rocks are uplifted and exposed, these two surface processes work together to wear them down into hills and valleys.

Weathering and erosion 

400

To form an igneous rock like granite, Earth's materials must undergo these two specific processes.

Melting and crystallization 

400

What are are the three main types of rocks shown in the Rock Formation Model.

Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary 

500

Sand dunes form through this process, which happens when wind slows down and drops the particles it is carrying.

Deposition 

500

This process causes small changes over a long period of time like weathering of rocks or beach erosion 

Gradual Change

500

According to the rock cycle model, these five processes are required to turn any rock into a sedimentary rock.

Weathering, erosion, deposition, compression and cementation 

500

What is it when some processes cause sudden, large changes to a system (flooding during a hurricane, landslide caused by heavy rain)

Catastrophic Change
