facts about me
what is my favorite color
pink
water
Raindrops, flowing rivers, ocean waves, and glaciers carry away sediment.
mountains
High, steep-sided elevations, often formed by colliding tectonic plates.
sedimentation
Layers form from sediments (sand, mud, shells) settling, often in water, then compacting and cementing into rock.
eons
The largest divisions, like the Precambrian (before complex life) and the Phanerozoic (visible life).
what is my favorite food?
seafood, pasta
wind
strong winds lift and transport loose soil and sand, creating dunes or dust storms.
hills
Raised areas, smaller and less steep than mountains, formed by uplift or erosion.
Horizontal Deposition
Generally deposited horizontally (Law of Original Horizontality), but later uplift or folding can tilt them
eras
Subdivisions of Eons, such as the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic.
what is my favorite roblox game
steal a brainrot
gravity
Landslides, rockfalls, and creep move materials downslope.
plateaus
Flat, elevated areas of land with steep sides
.
distinct layers
Each stratum has unique properties (color, texture, fossils) due to different depositional conditions, separated by bedding planes.
periods
Subdivisions of Eras, like the Cambrian (Paleozoic) or Jurassic (Mesozoic).
do katie like school
NO
temperature changes
Water freezing in cracks (ice wedging) or extreme wet/dry cycles break down rock
plains
Large, flat, low-lying areas, ideal for agriculture.
relative dating
The principle of superposition states the bottom layer is oldest, and the top is youngest, helping date events.
epochs
subdivisions of Periods, such as the Pleistocene and Holocene (Cenozoic).
do katie love food
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
biological factors
Plant roots widening cracks, and animals burrowing can contribute.
valleys
Low areas between hills or mountains, often carved by rivers.
stratigraphy
The science of strata, which studies these layers to understand Earth's history, including past climates, life, and tectonic events.
units
Geologists use abbreviations like Ma (million years ago) and Ga (billion years ago).
