Igneous
What is the rock formed by cooling magma?

Glacier
What is A large mass of ice that has formed from many years of compacted snow?
100
Glaciers, lava flow, water,and wind.
What is 4 ways to erode rocks?
100
4
What is how many different types of sediments are there?
100
Constructive forces
What is Forces that help in building new rocks and landforms?
200
Glacial abrasion
What is The result of scraping of rocks that are imbedded in the ice of the glacier against the rock bed beneath the glacier?
200
Chemical weathering
What is The processes by which rock are broken by chemical processes?
200
Clay
What is the smallest sediment?
200
Destructive forces
What is forces that wear away rocks and landforms?
300
Metamorphic
What is the rock formed by heat and pressure?
300
Glacial plucking
What is The slight melting of the bottom surface of the glacier that causes freezing and thawing in the cracks in the rocks below. The loosed rock become attached to the ice and move with the glacier?
300
Physical weathering
What is The effect of motion, such as wind, rain, waves, glacial movement, and freezing and thawing that wear away rocks and bedrock?
300
Gravel
What is the largest sediment?

Humus
What is dead stuff in the soil?

Weathering
What is The processes that cause minerals and rocks to become smaller

Soil
What is A mixture or organic and inorganic material that makes up the top layer of the surface of the Earth?
500
Erosion
What is The processes that move weathered material from place to place?
500
Sand
What is A sediment produced by physical weathering of rock, That has a particle size that is visible and comes in a variety of colors?
