Science study Guide

Question 1

Physical Weathering

Answer 1

Breaks rocks apart but does not change them

Question 2

Chemical weathering

Answer 2

Iron can rust and becomes different. Is caused by water, air pollution and living things

Question 3

Erosion

Answer 3

The moving weathered rock and soil

Question 4

Deposition

Answer 4

The dropping of materials moved erosion

Question 5

Rock cycle

Answer 5

The ways that rocks change from one form to another

Question 6

Igneous rock

Answer 6

Rock formed from melted rock that comes from deep within the earth

Question 7

Sedimentary rock

Answer 7

Rock formed when sediments are pressed or cemented together

Question 8

Metamorphic

Answer 8

Rock formed when igneous or sedimentary rock is changed by heat or pressure

Question 9

Plate tectonics

Answer 9

A theory that the earths surface is broken into plates that move.

Question 10

What is the ring of fire and where is it located?

Answer 10

An area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanos occur. Located in the pacific ocean.

Question 11

How does an earthquake occur?

Answer 11

When the earth’s plates suddenly move an earthquake occurs.

Question 12

What happens during a volcano?

Answer 12

When one plate is forced under another one rises and forms a volcano and as the crust on plate moves under the other friction and the earths heat melts the rock which rises to the surface of a volcanic eruption

Question 13

Explain what physical weathering is?

Answer 13

When rocks break apart but it does change what they are made of and it may change their size and shape. Example would be wind and water.

Question 14

Explain what chemical weathering is

Answer 14

A changes a substance that makes up rocks and a harder material may become a softer material. Iron can iron oxide or rust.

Question 15

What causes erosion and how can it be stopped?

Answer 15

Flowing water and wind cause erosion. Plants, sandbags and wind breaks.

Question 16

Explain what deposition is. What occurs when a river enters an ocean? How are sand dunes formed?

Answer 16

Deposition is the dropping of materials moved by erosion. When a river enters the ocean the rate of flow slows and it drops soil and other materials in a spread out pattern. Dunes form as sand is slowly deposited by wind.

Question 17

Explain how the earth was formed during Creation and how the earth surface changed during and after the Flood. How is this different from what many scientists teach?

Answer 17

During Creation God spoke and the Earth was formed. During the flood the continents started to split apart and have continued to move today. This is why we have earthquakes and volcanos.
Most scientists teach that the earths plates have been drifting apart for millions of years and that the earth was formed without God.
