When pressure and heat breaks and rearranges the bonds that hold atoms.
What is Recrystallization?
400
Break down of rocks and soil through contact with atmospheric conditions.
What is Weathering?
400
A process in which the shaking of ground causes loose wet soil to act like a liquid.

500
Noting and recording an event, characteristic or behavior, with an instrument or the senses.
What is an Observation?
500
A _______ is an inorganic solid, formed in nature, has a definite chemical makeup, and a crystalline structure.
What is a Mineral?
500
A series of processes by which a rock changes from one rock type to another, over time.
What is Rock Cycle?
500
The process by which the weathered rocks are picked up and moved by wind, water, and glaciers.
What is Erosion?
500
The area of the earth's surface directly above the place of the origin of disturbance or focus of the earthquake.
