13
Lithification
occurs when sediment transportation stops
layers of rock
occurs when heavier clasts settle to the bottom first
process that turns loose sediment into rock
14
Define: Rock Cycle
Happens to only chemical rocks
A process that slowly change rocks from one kind to another
A process that quickly change rocks from one kind to another
Only happens to igneous rocks
15
One way Scientists learned about the layers of the Earth is from:
subduction zones
Space technology
Seismic (earthquake) waves
The water cycle
16
Convergent boundaries
make pizza
make crust
move crust to the side
destroy crust
17
