  5. Weathering & erosion • http://www.flagstaffshuttle.net/images/GC3.jpg Weathering: breaks rock down into sediment Erosion: moves sediment

  6. Fossils • Formed from organisms dying and their remains being buried by sediment. • (usually found in sedimentary rock)

  7. Relative Dating

  8. Comparing fossils in different areas • http://ses4u-smith.wikispaces.com/file/view/indexfoseg.jpg/221545338/indexfoseg.jpg

  9. Earthquakes • Measured by: • SEISMOGRAPH • 3 types of seismic waves • Primary, Secondary & Surface

  10. Earthquakes • ENERGY TRANSFER • SEISMIC WAVES  cause  MECHANICAL ENERGY

  11. Volcanoes • ENERGY TRANSFER • FLOWING MAGMA causes HEAT ENERGY & MECHANICAL ENERGY
