Lesson 5 The Cycling of Earth’s Materials – Max learned what happens to rocks at Earth’s surface. Then he learned that sediment deposited in water often forms layers in the beds of rivers, lakes, and oceans. Over time these layers can be preserved in sedimentary rocks. Next he learned that lithification is the process through which sediment turns into rock. Then he learned that cementation is the process by which minerals dissolved in surrounding water crystallize between grains of sediment such as quartz, calcite, and clay.
Assignment: Add pictures and notes on the rock cycle to science notebook
