A nonrenewable fossil fuel that was formed from ancient marine organisms that were buried by sediment for millions of years

• Renewable resource

• Nonrenewable resource

• Oil

• Fossil Fuel

Which list shows the correct order of processes needed for sedimentary rock formation?

• Deposition, erosion, compaction, cementation, and weathering

• Weathering, deposition, compaction, erosion, and cementation

• Erosion, weathering, compaction, cementation, and deposition

• Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation

The image shows dead plants and animals covered by sediment in a body of water.What type of fossil fuels could potentially form from this environment AND what other processes would need to occur to form the fossil fuels?

Look at the image carefully. Then enter your answer and explanation in the box provided.

NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

Which statement best describes the processes of weathering and erosion?

• Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the breakdown of any type of rock into smaller particles

  and the carrying away of the loose sediments.

• Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for depositing loose sediments on the bottom of the ocean,

  forming layers of sediment.

• Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the amount of water in a river that transports sediments

  to the sea.

• Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the transportation, deposition, and compaction of loose

  sediments on the seafloor.
