Landform 4
2
Erosion (Ex. moving, carrying, flowing)
any natural process that builds up Earth's surface
the process in which material is laid down or brought somewhere else
The breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface.
Process that wind, water, ice, or gravity moves soil and sediment

Weathering
Raining
Motion
Deposition
4
Which example best shows evidence from patterns in rock formations to support an explanation for changes in a landscape?
Rock layers with mixed fossils of plants and shells
Rock layers with only plant fossils
Rock layers with marine shell fossils above rock layers with plant fossils
Rock layers with only volcanic rocks
5
What is true about a canyon and a valley?
A canyon is a oceanic landform, while a trench is an continental landform.
A canyon and trench are both oceanic landforms
A canyon and trench are both continental landforms
A canyon is a continental landform, while a trench is an oceanic landform.
6
In the process of weathering, what could be a contributing factor to the breakdown of rocks?
Decrease in water flow
Decrease in exposure to sunlight
Decrease in wind speed
Increase in temperature
7
If rock layers show evidence of plant fossils at the top and marine shell fossils at the bottom, what does it indicate?
The absence of erosion
A volcanic eruption
A change from water to land over time
