The impacts of using geological resources

This unit teaches pupils about the physical processes that create and alter different types of rocks and soils over time. Pupils will also develop their understanding of how humans use different rocks and soils and why this can affect geographical patterns of wealth and population.

Rocks, weathering and soil: Why is geology important?

The structure and history of Earth, especially rocks

They can still be different types depending on how they were formed.

Which statement is true about rocks formed during the same geological period?

The way rocks are formed, broken down and changed over time

Formed from layers of broken-down material

Match the type of rock to its description:

Which natural resource is a type of fossil fuel?

Digging underground to get natural resources

It removes natural resources from near the surface

It involves digging very deep underground

Soil supports plant life and stores carbon

Which of these is a correct statement about soil?
