1

Newton's 1st law

Know as the law of inertia. Inertia: If an object is in motion it stays in motion, if it stays at rest is stays at rest.

2

Newton's second law

If an object is big, the smaller it's change in motion. Is and object is small, the bigger it's change in motion.

3

acceleration

change in motion of an object ex: runner

4

Newton's third law

for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

5

miniral

nonliving, naturally occurring solid with a specific arrangement of particles

6

igneous

formed when melted rocks are cooled and hardend

7

sedimentary

formed when layers of materials and rocks settle on top of each other

8

Metamorphic

formed inside the earth from other rocks under heat and pressure

9

erosion

moment of materials from one place to aother

10

deposition

process of layering materials

11

fossil fuels

energy resources that are found in coal, oil and natural gas

12

coal

formed from plants

13

natural gas

formed from the remains of tiny living organisms

14

landforms

natural land features on the earths surface

15

moving water

causes lots of erosion

16

rivers

can pick up and carry sediments

17

fast rivers

creates valleys and deep canyons

18

deltas

rivers slow down and drops sediment.

19

rain

loosens sediment from coals than carry away in floods

20

waves

erosion on coastlines(beaches)

21

glaciers

larger masses of ice

22

wind erosion

blowing dust, sand and soil

23

sand dunes

large loose deposits of sand

24

fields

when dry wind causes severe erosion

25

weathering

slow breaking down of rocks
