What is cementation?

• The process by which sediment is deposited in a new location

• The process of binding and hardening of sediments into hard rock

• The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces

• The movement of weathered material by wind, water, or ice

What is compaction?

• The movement of weathered material by wind, water, or ice

• The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces

• The process by which pressure from rocks and soil reduces the size or volume of sediments

• The process of binding and hardening of sediments into hard rock

What is deposition?

What are fossil fuels?

• A hard black or brown substance that is found in Earth and is burned as fuel

• A thick oil found by drilling beneath Earth’s surface

• A mixture of gases found in Earth’s crust
