Good Weather Precipitation 2. Increase in air pressure 3. Decrease in air pressure 4. Increase in temperature 6. Decrease in temperature 5. Sunny and clear skies 1. Snow, rain, sleet
What helps prevent erosion? Running waterPaving roads Planting trees/plants/crops wind
What would happen if there was no more precipitation? Sea levels would rise Build up of clouds in the atmosphere Volcanoes would erupt
Slow vs. Fast Processes volcanoescanyons Stalacites & stalagmites earthquakes
Slow vs. Fast continues weathering/ Erosion/deposition tsunami Glacial erosion

Rock is broken down to form __________. Label the layers soil ______ - high amount of decayed materials (humus) _______ - many minerals but less decayed matter. ______ - weathered and unweathered rock topsoil subsoil bedrock
Mechanical or Chemical Weathering? Discuss what caused each!
A good model of the Earth would be a(n) What do they have in common? ______________________ What do they have in common? ______________________ layers to represent the core, mantel, and crust
I am… A rock that forms when melted rock cools and hardens If I cool quickly, I form small crystals. If I cool slowly I form large crystals. Granite and Basalt are examples of me
I am… Rocks t hat form when layers of minerals and rock particles harden into solid rock. Most fossils are found in me.
I am… Formed when other rocks are changed by hear and pressure. The mineral crystals can change in size or shape. Slate and quartzite are some examples of me.

Deposit this knowledge for your test tomorrow These bits of information should not be weathered or eroded by TV Chapter 9 will help you condense this knowledge so it will not runoff!
