Science Staar Voc (EARTH)

Rock that forms when sediments are pressed together through compaction and cementation.

to move aroundanother object along a circular path, as in an orbit

A large, flat area of land at the mouth of a river formed by the deposition of sediments

Electricitymade from the energy of moving water in a dam

Every 24 hours; happens because of Earth rotating on its axis

a stretch of low landbetween hills or mountains; usually formed by a glacier

The breaking down of rock on the surface, usually by the force of water, wind, or ice

The high walls along a river and the river itself

huge piece of ice that slowly moves across the surface & remains frozen during the entire year

Resources formed from decaying remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago

One of the features that make up the earth's surface, such as a plain, mountain, or valley.

Heat energy naturally produced within the Earth

an alternative energy resource used by capturing sunlight and generating electrical energy

Fuel made from organic matter

A hill of sand formed by the deposition of sand by the wind

the process by which sediments are pressed together under their own weight

The movement of weathered particles by water, wind, and ice

The process by which materials that have been eroded are dropped in a new place

turning around on anaxis; spinning

capturing the mechanical movement of air & turning a turbine to generate electricity

Energy that does not come from fossil fuels

The process in which sediments are “glued” together by minerals that are deposited by water

happens due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis and Earth revolving around the Sun
