Compaction
Cementation
How is cementation different from compaction?
Summarize the process in order, from first to last, by which sedimentary rock is formed.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Cementation glues or cements the layers of sediment together creating sedimentary rock | arrow_right_alt | first |
Compaction presses layers of sediment together | arrow_right_alt | second |
weathering breaks down rock into smaller sediments | arrow_right_alt | third |
Deposition drops the sediment in new locations | arrow_right_alt | fourth |
Erosion carries sediment from original place | arrow_right_alt | last |
What is needed for the formation of fossil fuels?
Crude oil that is pumped from the ground can be used to make many different items including: fuel for heat or fuel for gasoline, clothing, and plastics. How did this oil field form?
Which environment would coal most likely form?
What is needed for the formation of fossil fuels?
Energy resources can be used to produce electricity. Select ALL of these energy resources that are renewable.
Why is it important for humans to conserve natural resources?
Classify the natural resources as either Renewable or Nonrenewable.
Natural Gas
Water
Coal
Plants
Animals
Oil
Renewable
Nonrenewable
A flow chart of the formation of fossil fuels is shown below.
Complete the graphic organizer using the terms shown. Not all terms will be used.
Which resources are nonrenewable?
Select TWO correct answers.
Drag each fossil fuel to the environment it was created by.
Coal
Petroleum (gasoline)
Natural Gas
Dead Marine & Ocean Organisms
Dead Marsh and Swamp Plants & Animals
An archeologist is studying the fossil of a sea shell from a mountain top. What could this particular fossil suggest about the past?
Which components are NOT needed for the formation of sedimentary rock?
Select TWO correct answers.
Drag each process to the matching part of the diagram.
Which part of the picture is showing cementation?
