What are index fossils?

What type of rocks are fossils most likely to be found in?

Wind or water that carries material will drop it if it

How does energy reach us from the Sun?

Weather occurs here.

This gas makes up 21% of the atmosphere.

As altitude increases pressure

The main reason tectonic plates move is

What does the pH scale measure?

A neutralization reaction produces

I am the type of weathering that breaks material into smaller pieces. What am I?

What happens to the fossil record over time

You can tell if something is an acid or a base by using

Forces that wear down of earth's surface.

I cause rocks and iron to breakdown and crumble. What type of weathering am I?
