The process of breaking down rocks and other materials on the surface of the Earth is called __________.

Process where only the size of the rock is changed.

Caves and Caverns are formed by slightly acidic groundwater changing the composition of the rocks, which is this type of weathering…..

This type of weathering is when water freezes and expands which widens the cracks in rocks.

When trees grow into cracks of rocks and eventually split the rock apart it is called ______ ______.

Sediments and rocks move downhill because of this invisible force…

List some examples of chemical weathering Mosses dissolving rocks away with acid they produce Mosses dissolving rocks away with acid they produce Oxygen and water turning iron in rocks into rust Oxygen and water turning iron in rocks into rust Karst topography Karst topography Rocks/statues with calcite disolving Rocks/statues with calcite disolving

The fastest agent of erosion is

List some examples of sedimentary rocks Limestone Limestone Shale Shale Conglomerate Conglomerate Sandstone Sandstone

This sedimentary rock forms from sand, mud, and gravel on river bottoms, it is similar to man-made concrete

Sedimentary Rock made from plant remains…. Mined in the Appalachian plateau

Rock composed of cemented mud and clay….. Parent rock of Metamorphic Slate

Rock used to make chalk, gravel, cement, and building materials. It fizzes in HCl acid. Our bedrock is mostly made of ….

Rock made from compacted shells

Rock made from sediment of sand compacted and cemented together, is is very permeable.

Rock that melts ice in the winter time to clear driveways. It is made mostly of the mineral Halite.

Rock that is formed from substances dissolved in water. (Chemical or Clastic?)

This process leaves behind salt beds, think of the water cycle.

Type of sedimentary rock that is formed from once living organisms

Type of sedimentary rock that is formed from cemented grains or fragments of other rocks
