How do freezing and thawing weaken rocks?   Freezing and thawing water causes weathering by making the cracks larger.  
🗑
igneous rock   rock that forms from molten rock  
🗑
What happens when igneous rocks cool very slowly?   large crystals form - granite  
🗑
What happens when igneous rocks cool very quickly?   no time to form crystals - pumice, basalt, obsidian  
🗑
sediment   an earth material that has been moved from one place to another and layed down onthe surface of the earth  
🗑
fossil   remains or marks of a living thing from long ago  
🗑
metamorphic rock   rock that has changed as a result of heating and pressure

🗑
Moh's scale   measures the hardness of a mineral. Minerals are ranked 1 to 10 and 10 is the hardst
