This rock type is made from layering pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms.
What are sedimentary rocks?
A substance can exist as these 3 forms or phases of matter.
What is solid, liquid and gas?
What are flowers?
Non-living things that still effect an ecosystem including temperature, Sunlight, soil and humidity.
What are abiotic factors?
This phase visible from earth between the first quarter moon and a full moon.
What is a waxing gibbous moon?
This theory says that the outer crust glides over the Earth's rock inner layer and explains why Earth's landforms look the way they do.
What is the Theory of Plate Tectonics?

The San Andreas fault is an example of this type of fault where two tectonic plates slides past one another.

What are elements?
The process in which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy (sugar) for the plant.
What is photosynthesis?

In chemistry, we see an increase in kinetic energy of the particles when this increases.
