A slow destructive process caused by movement of water

Which of the following comes after a rock has been weathered away?

The rock will be carried away by water, ice, wind & gravity

Why is California considered a high risk area of living?

It is located on the fault line

What causes a river to become more shallow?

Sediments are deposited into the lake

What causes a river to flow a certain way?

Answers

1
How are mountain ranges formed?
Volcanoes erupted for a long time and built them up.
The Earth's crust slowly collided until one part pushed up.
Wind has pushed rocks and soil into valleys that built up.
Rivers and streams deposited soil until it was formed.
2
Which of the following is NOT a fast change?
Landslides
Volcanic Eruption
Sinkholes
Creation of the Grand Canyon
3
How are barrier islands created?
Through weathering from river deltas
Barrier islands were formed when Earth was created
through deposition after the waves carry sand &drop it off
Created through volcanic eruption
4
What are the 4 agents of erosion
water, wind, ash, and gravity
water, wind, ice, gravity
water, wind, earthquakes, and gravity
water, wind, ash, ice
5
How is a creek formed?
A slow constructive process caused by earthquakes
A fast destructive process caused by a glacier
A slow destructive process caused by movement of water
A fast constructive process caused by wind
6
What causes mountains to become rounder over time?
Mountain buildings
Deposition
Weathering
Volcanic eruptions
7
Which of the following comes after a rock has been weathered away?
It is dropped off to build new land
The rock will be carried away by water, ice, wind & gravity
A lake is formed
Rock cannot be weathered away
8
Why is California considered a high risk area of living?
It has the highest amount of tornadoes in the country
Floods occur every day
It is located on the fault line
There are a lot of active volcanoes
9
What causes a river to become more shallow?
The climate gets warmer
Sun evaporates the water
A hurricane brings heavy rain
Sediments are deposited into the lake
10
What causes a river to flow a certain way?
Fish carry soil and rock from side to side
Water evaporates from the river and takes soil with it.
Flowing water erodes soil ad deposits it on a different side
One side of the river gets more sunlight than the other
11
Which of the following is created by deposition?
Mountains
Seismograph
Hawaii
River Delta
12
True or False: The Earth's surface features are constantly changing
True
False
What is the Earth?
13
the breaking down of rocks to create sand is an example of
weathering
deposition
fast changes
erosion
14
Which agent of erosion is most likely causing this sea arch to form?
Ice
Wind
Graivty
Water
15
What process is happening in this illustration?
Agent of wind is weathering the rock
Agent of gravity is weathering the rock
Chemical Weathering
Physical Weathering
16
How is the Grand Canyon formed?
Water erosion over a long time
Volcanic Activity
A sudden earthquake shook the ground
Erosion due to a river over a short time
17
How is a volcano a constructive force?
A volcanic eruption is a fast change
Lava can hardern to create new land
Lave destroys everything in its path
It is only a destructive force
18
Which process creates new land in a short amount of time?
Volcanic Eruptions
Large pieces of rock breaking into smaller pieces.
River Erosion
Glacial Movement
19
How does an erupting volcano change the land around it?
The lava pushes soil down to the base of the volcano
The flowing lava cools and creates a layer of rock
The heat of the lava causes seeds to sprout
The lava damages the surrounding land
20
Which of the following is an example of a slow change?
All of these are slow changes
Weathering
Deposition
Erosion
