Rice's Earth Changes and Force Review

Front

What is the process of oil formation from ocean organisms?

Back

Oil formation begins when ocean organisms die, settle to the bottom, and are buried in sediments.

Front

Why is it important to repeat experiments in science?

Back

Repeating experiments ensures that results are consistent and reliable.

Front

What ingredients are needed to form sedimentary rocks?

Back

Sedimentary rocks require time, various sediments, and intense pressure, but not organic matter.

Front

How does the Sun contribute to the formation of fossil fuels?

Back

The Sun provides energy to living things that eventually become fossil fuels.

Front

What natural force creates features like sea caves and arches?

Back

Water is the natural force that shapes land features like sea caves and arches.

Front

What are fossil fuels?

Back

Fossil fuels are energy sources formed from the remains of ancient organisms over millions of years.

Front

What is sediment?

Back

Sediment is small particles of rock, minerals, and organic material that settle at the bottom of bodies of water.

Front

What role does pressure play in rock formation?

Back

Pressure helps to compact sediments together to form sedimentary rocks.

Front

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?

Back

Renewable resources can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable resources, like fossil fuels, take millions of years to form.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.
