1
The process that breaks
down rock and other
substances at Earth’s
surface.
2
What is
weathering?
3
The process that breaks
down rock through a
chemical change.
4
What is chemical
weathering?
5
The term that refers to
the grinding away of
rock by rock particles
carried by wind, water,
ice, and gravity.
6
What is abrasion?
7
The burning of coal,
oil, and gas can
pollute the air. Once
the air becomes
polluted, this is
formed.
8
What is acid rain?
9
The two most
important factors
that determine the
rate at which
weathering occurs.
10
What are type of
rock and climate?
11
The type of weathering
in which rock is
physically broken
down into smaller
pieces.
12
What is mechanical
weathering?
13
When water freezes in
a crack of a rock, it
expands and makes the
crack bigger.
14
What is ice
wedging?
15
When carbon dioxide is
dissolved in rain water,
it produces this
substance that easily
weathers limestone and
marble?
16
What is
carbonic acid?
17
The movement of
rock particles by
ice, wind, water, or
gravity.
18
What is erosion?
19
When iron combines
with oxygen in the
presence of water, it
causes this process to
take place (another
word for rusting).
20
What is oxidation?
21
This is a loose, weathered
material on Earth’s surface
in which plants can grow.
It is a mixture of rock
particles, minerals, decayed
organic material, air, and
water.
22
What is soil?
23
The nutrient rich,
decayed, digested
organic material in
soil.
24
What is humus?
25
The largest rock
particle found in
soil.
26
What is gravel?
27
The smallest
particle found in
soil.
28
What is clay?
29
Soil that is made up
of equal parts clay,
sand, and silt.
30
What is loam?
31
As plants shed
leaves, they form
this loose layer.
32
What is litter?
33
Humus forms
during this
process.
34
What is
decomposition?
35
The organisms that
break down the
remains of other dead
organisms into
smaller pieces and
digest them.
36
What are
decomposers?
37
Many burrowing
animals such as
mice, moles, and
prairie dogs do this.
38
What is break up
hard compacted soil
and spread humus
around?
39
Three different
organisms that are
decomposers.
40
What are
earthworms,
bacteria, protists,
and fungi?
41
The type of rock
where most fossils
are found in
42
What is
sedimentary?
43
A fossil formed
when minerals
replace all or part
of an organism
44
What is a
petrified fossil?
45
The process by which
all different kinds of
living things have
changed over long
periods of time.
46
What is evolution?
47
The preserved
remains or traces
of an organism.
48
What is a fossil?
49
Living things die
and their remains
are buried in
sediment.
50
What is how
fossils form?
