Video Lecture: Construction Through Destruction Making Sedimentary Rocks

Students can explain the rock cycle, differentiate among the three types of rocks, and use texture and composition to identify common rocks and their origins
Students can describe the role weathering, mass wasting, and erosion play in shaping Earth’s surface and can provide and/or identify examples of each of these processes
Students can describe the evolution of landforms and geologic structures in the context of constructive and/or destructive geologic processes
Describe the processes that form different types of sedimentary rocks
Use texture, fossils, and structures to interpret environmental conditions
Use texture and composition to identify common sedimentary rocks and their origins (depositional environment)
