Sedimentary Rock Processes: What is the correct order? Vocabulary Word Deposition Weathering Compaction Erosion Cementation Definition A.To break down rock into smaller pieces B.To move broken down pieces of rock away from parent material C.To drop sediments at a new location D.To squeeze sediments together E.To fill spaces between sediments with minerals that glue them together

Processes that Shape Earth Weathering: athering/ Rocks are broken down –Water –Wind –Ice –Heat Erosion: m/erosion/ Process by which sediment is removed from its source –Water –Wind –Ice (Glacier) –Gravity

Processes That Shape The Earth Deposition Process where sediment moved by erosion is dropped and comes to rest. Uplift Movement within Earth that causes rocks inside the Earth to be moved to the Earth’s surface
