3. This form of weathering is caused by rain water mixing with pollution
What is ACID RAIN?
This form of weathering is caused
by rain water mixing with pollution
from the burning of fossil fuels.
Row 1, Col 1

4. The movement of rock debris from one place to another.
What is EROSION?
The movement of rock debris
from one place to another.
1,2

5. What is SEDIMENTARY ROCK?
This type of rock is formed by the layering of sediment over many years. Pressure slowing compresses and cements these pieces of sediment together.
1,3

6. This type of weathering is an example of a physical change.
What is MECHANICAL WEATHERING?
This type of weathering is an example of a physical change.

7. Water works its way into a crack in the rock and freezes.
What is ICE WEDGING?
Water works its way into a
crack in the rock and freezes.
As the water expands it breaks
apart the rock.
2,1

8. The dropping off of sediment.
What is DEPOSITION?
The dropping off of sediment.
2,2

9. This type of rock forms when extreme heat, pressure, and a
What is a METAMORPHIC ROCK?
This type of rock forms when
extreme heat, pressure, and a
chemical reactions change
the original rock into a new
type of rock.

10. Carbonic acid seeping into the ground and causing caves
What is Chemical Weathering
Carbonic acid seeping into the
ground and causing caves
and sinkholes.

11. These small organisms grow with their roots in small cracks in rocks.
What are LICHENS?
These small organisms grow with
their roots in small cracks in rocks.
Their roots release an acid
which chemically weather the rock.

12. Waves bringing small particles of sand and other debris to the
What is DEPOSITION?
Waves bringing small particles
of sand and other debris to the
Beach shore creating small dunes.

13. A magma chamber deep in the Earth starts to cool and forms
What is INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK?
A magma chamber deep in the
Earth starts to cool and forms
Into solid rock. This is the type
Of rock that is created.
(Bonus Point to Name an example
Of this type of rock)

14. This type of weathering is an example of a chemical change.
What is CHEMICAL WEAHTERING?
This type of weathering is an
example of a chemical change.

15. Glaciers scraping against the surface
What is ABRASION or PHYSICAL WEATHERING?
Glaciers scraping against the surface
of the Earth is an example of this.
Hint: Think about our snow experiment

16. The plucking and abrasion from a glacier is an example of
What is EROSION?
The plucking and abrasion
from a glacier is an example of
this.

17. The state of Hawaii is formed by underwater volcanoes that
What is EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK?
The state of Hawaii is formed
by underwater volcanoes that
have produced enough lava to
create a set of islands. It is most
common to find this type of rock
on the surface of the islands.

18. Acid rain weathering a limestone gravestone is an example of
What is CHEMCIAL WEATHERING?
Acid rain weathering a limestone
gravestone is an example of
this type of weathering.

19. You are walking in the woods and
What is “Teacher for Answer”?
You are walking in the woods and
see a large boulder that has a large crack
in it. You do not see any plant growth on
the rock. What could have caused
the rock to crack?

20. Where is Erosion occurring? Where is Deposition occurring?
What is EROSION – A?
What is DEPOSITION – B? A B

21. What factors occur in the mantle
What is HEAT and PRESSURE?
What factors occur in the mantle
that contribute to the
rock cycle.
