Sedimentary Rocks

7. pieces of rock collide with each other due to transportation by wind ice water and gravity.
8. rocks that are formed when water deforms minerals and deposits them elsewhere.( minerals produced by evaporation)
9. Occurs when oxygen from the air combines with iron-rich minerals of the rock. (creates rust)
11. Layers of rock peel off the main body of the rock
13. material is transported and ultimately deposited in a different landmass.
14. the wearing away of soil or rock by water, wind or ice.
15. the physical and chemical breakdown of rocks at or near the earth's surface.
16. as sediment is transported from its source to where it's deposited, the particles collide with each other causing the particles to change size and shape.
17. The mechanical or physical breakdown if rock into smaller pieces, without a change in the minerals chemical composition.
19. occurs when water combines with carbon dioxide in the air to form carbonic acid.
20. the process of removing empty spaces between minerals by the weight of the overlying sediment.

1. when soil is formed from the parent material and is of the same composition.
2. rocks that are produced by mechanical weathering and are classified by grain size, sorting, and angularity.
3. parent material has been carried from elsewhere and deposited.
4. the process of gluing the compacted minerals together by minerals that filter through the soil
5. the process by which chemicals break down rock through a change in the minerals composition, happens fast in a hot, moist climate.
6. rocks that are formed by the action of organisms as they build shells and other body parts by extracting chemical components from the water in which they live.
10. The tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size
12. water freezes in the crack of the rock surface, splitting and expanding the rock.
18. Water combines with minerals such as mica and feldspar found in granite, to form clay, the rock weakens and crumbles apart
