Students will continue Earth Science. Students will investigate the processes that led to the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels. Students will review how landforms such as deltas, canyons, and sand dunes are the result of changes to Earth's surface (Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition) by wind, water, and ice. Students will have a vocabulary quiz on Friday over the following words.
