a mountain  made up of mostly rock layers folded by being squeezed together

a mountain made by huge tilted blocks of rocks separated by surrounding rocks by faults

the breaking of rocks into smaller pieces by natural process

picking up and removing rock particles

loose weathered rock that can grow plants

material produced by breaking down plant and animal remains

series of horizons in soil from the surface down to the bedrock

rainwater that soaks into spaces between rock fragments underground

downhill movement of earth mater caused by gravity

the dropping off of sediment

a huge sheet that moves slowly over the land

jumble of many sizes of sediment deposited by a glacier

 a deposit many sizes of sediment in front or along the sides  glacier 

naturally occurring solid in earths crust  

forms when hot liquid rock cools and hardens into a lot of rockes

forms from pices of other rocks that are pushed togeather

from anther kind of rock that is changed  by heat

rocks continually changing from one kind into another

a mixture of small particles

age of the rock compared to another

listing of earth's rock in layers from oldest to youngest

 imprints, trace of remains in earth's crust (living) 

like a fossil but was widespread, only lived for a short time 

 half the  mass of a radioactive element in it to brakes apart

age of a rock in years

1 of the 4 long stretches of time in earth's history
