A glacier changes the shape of the land by deposition because when it melts or moves sedminents or rocks can break loose and get deposited.
Air, water, minerals, rock sediments
Deposition
Glaciers have sediments frozen into them. As the glaciers move, their weight grinds the sediments into the land below this breaks rocks and scratches/polishes the land.
Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary
Metamorphic Rock
Clay would hold more water (not drain well), may stick together (not be as loose)
Chemical weathering EX- Iron rusting/oxidation, acids (acidic rain), CO2 in water, water, lichens (release acids)
A glacier causes erosion when it moves because sediments are frozen into the ice of the glacier and carried along as it moves.
A mixture of sediments, decomposing organic material, and microorganisms.
How rocks change into other kinds of rocks
Physical weathering EX: rain, moving water (waves), glaciers, wind, ice, freeze/thaw, heating/cooling, lightning, plant roots, animal activity,...
Minerals make up rocks
Worms, bacteria, nematodes, ...
Rocks are a mixture of minerals.
dead plants (leaves, sticks, wood), dead animals, manure
Quickest- Gravel Slowest- clay
Igneous Rock
A glacier changes the shape look of the land by moving/carrying large amounts of sedminents. This can create valleys, lakes, ponds, horns, aretes, cirques, or polished rocks.
Sedimentary rocks
Erosion
Sediments
Weathering
The glacier can deposit large amounts sediments or boulders as it moves or melts. This leaves behind piles of rocks/boulders/builds up hills.
Gravel, sand, silt, clay
____________________ make up rocks.
Which type of rock is formed from rock that has been melted into lava or magma and cools/hardens into solid rock again?
Pieces of broken rock created during the process of weathering and erosion are called__.
What non-living (inorganic) materials are found in soil?
How does a glacier change the shape (look) of the land by erosion?
Breaking down rocks into sediments by chemicals is called________ weathering.
Give 2 examples of this

Breaking down rocks into sediments by physical motion is called________ weathering.
Give 2 examples of this.
Name the 3 types of rocks formed in the rock cycle
How does a glacier change the shape (look) of the land with deposition?
The dropping off of sediments is called__.
Descirbe how a glacier causes erosion.
Name the 4 sediments that were observed in class in order from biggest to smallest.
How does a glacier cause deposition?
Give 2 examples of decomposing organic material.
Give 2 examples of microrganisms in soil.
What is the ROCK CYCLE?
The breaking of rocks is called___.
Which sediment will drain water the quickest? Which sediment will drain water the slowest?
Which type of rock is formed by sediments that pile up over time and form layers under great pressure and the bottom layers are pressed together?
How would soil mixed with lots of clay be different than soil mixed with lots of sand?
What makes up soil?hint-3 basic parts
How do glaciers change the shape of the land by weathering?
Which type of rock is formed by from the addition of HEAT from magma and great PRESSURE on sediments or existing rocks?
Why do some rocks have different colors or luster than other rocks?
