| Lithification | The process of turning sediments into solid rock, cementing and compacting of sediments |
| Deposition | When sediments are laid down in a new location after being eroded |
| Erosion | the process of moving weathered sediments to a new location |
| Weathering | the breaking up of rock |
| Glacier | A giant mass of moving ice and snow that causes erosion |
| Chemical Weathering | When rocks are weathered and chemically changed into a new substance |
| Mechanical Weathering | When rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces |
| Ice pry | When water seeps into a crack in a rock, freezes,expands and breaks the rock |
| Root pry | When plant roots grow into cracks in rock and break the rock |
| Five agents of erosion | Wind, water, ice, waves, gravity |
| Sedimentary Rock | Rocks formed from the compaction and cementation of sediments |
| Sediment | small solid pieces of materials that come from other rocks |
| The Rock Cycle | A series of processes on Earth's surface and inside the planet that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another |
| The three types of rocks | Sedimentary, Metamorphic, Igneous |
