14. What is a sediment made of? Little fragments of rocks

15. Why limestone is often has white colours? Because it is made of calcium carbonate
16. What type of rocks that formed under the ground and changed by heat and pres-
Metamorphic Rocks
sure?
17. Metamorphic rocks sometimes formed form sedimentary rocks. Complete this sen-
tence.

18. Complete this table.
Weathering
Caused by Examples
type
Chemical Rainwater When rainwater attacks limestone a
chemical reaction takes place
Physical Temperature Water gets into the spaces and cracks in
rocks
Biotic Living Organisms Living organisms can cause rocks to
break apart

19. How can we know that limestone was formed under the sea? Limestone contains fossils from
sea animals and plants
20. How can we know that coal was not formed under the sea? Coal was formed when trees and
other plants fell into swamps milions
years ago
21. What do fossils tell us? Fossils tell us how some rocks
were formed

live on?
Is every plate move? yes
Why plate move? these plates move slowly
on the molten magma
underneath them
26. How old is the Earth?
Scientists have found meteorites that are 4.5 bilion years old . They think the Earth is the
same age as these meteorites
Good luck
