| recognise, using simple models, the processes of sedimentation, erosion, weathering in the formation of rocks, e.g. in sedimentary rock | describe the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks | |
| describe the effect of heat and pressure on the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks as a possible progression from sedimentary rocks | ||
| explain, using models, how some of the characteristics of rocks are linked to biological, physical and chemical processes of formation | ||
