What are sedimentary rocks

Rocks formed from sediments which are pushed together

Whats a limestone

A type of sedimentary rock

What are Metamorphic rocks

Rocks formed due to pressure deep inside the crust

Describe which forces can shape landscapes

The Endogenous and exogenous forces

The difference between endogenic and exogenic forces

The difference is that exogenic process comes from outside earth example rainfall, rivers, ice and wind. And the endogenic forces come from the inside earth example volcanoes, earthquakes and mountains

The difference between weathering and erosion

Weathering breaks the rocks apart on the earth's surface; for example by rainwater, temperature or plant growth. And Erosion is the sediment created by weathering is picked up and scraped against the surrounding rock.

The difference types of rock

Igneous rocks, formed from solidified magma.

Sedimantary rocks, is formed from the sediments that have been created by weathering and move by erosion. Examples lakes and sea.

Metamorphic rocks forms at very high temperatures and pressure. Example slate.
