Topics of this game:
- Rock that has not been weathered
- (like cementation) the process by which loose sediments are bound together to form sedimentary rocks
- Smallest grains of any soil component, sticky texture when it is wet, holds water the best of any soil component.
- (like compaction) the process by which loose sediments are bound together to form sedimentary rocks
- Pushing stress on lithospheric plates (causes faulting).
- The transport of weathered rock and sediments from one location to another.
- Extreme stress and pressure that causes rock to fracture, or break.
- Extreme stress and pressure that causes rock bend and create mountains
- The layers of soil
- Rich, dark organic material in soil
- A type of rock formed when magma and lava cool and make mineral crystals.
- Molten rock that is found at or above the surface of the Earth.
- Removal of dissolved materials from soil by water moving downwards.
- A number of rigid, but moving, pieces of the Earth's surface.
- Best soil for plants, it contains a mixture of sand, silt, and clay.
- A hot liquid made of melted minerals and compounds commonly found in rocks.
- A type of rock formed when other rocks undergo extreme heat and pressure.
- Decaying parts of plants and animals
- Ability to allow water to pass through quickly
- An indication of how acidic soil is
- Measure of how much empty space in soils
- Particles larger than particles of silt or clay, gritty texture, and water runs through it quickly.
- A type of rock formed from deposition, compaction and cementation of sediment
- Like powder because the grain size is small. The particles are smaller than sand, but larger than clay.
- A mixture composed of weathered rocks and decomposed organic material
- Pulling stress on lithospheric plates (causes faulting)
- A description of the shape and size of the particles that compose a rock or soil
- The process by which rocks are broken down
