Natural Resources
Supplies from nature
Everything on or around the Earth that we use to survive
Examples: coal, oil, iron, timber, rivers, animals, and sunlight.

Sedimentary Rock Formation
Rock that is formed when pieces of sediment are cemented back together to make new rock
14
So, how do the pieces of sediment come together to form a sedimentary rock? Magic? No.
Sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.

Earth's Surface
Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. It is the only planet known to have an atmosphere containing free oxygen, oceans of liquid water on its surface, and, of course, life.
About 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water, most of it in the oceans. About a fifth of Earth's atmosphere is made up of oxygen, produced by plants. While scientists have been studying our planet for centuries, much has been learned in recent decades by studying pictures of Earth from space.
Orbital characteristics Earth spins on an imaginary line called an axis that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, while also orbiting the sun. It takes Earth 23.934 hours to complete a rotation on its axis, and roughly 365.24 days to complete an orbit around the sun.

Landforms
Landforms are natural features of earth's surface.
Many examples are: Mountain, hill, valley, canyon, cliff, plain, plateau, desert, beach, dune.
20
Landforms are always changing, in other words Earth's surface is always changing. Why?
Slow reasons: Weathering, erosion, and deposition!
Fast reasons: earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, tornados, etc!
