Answers
1
Volcanoes and earthquakes are
constructive and destructive
convergent and divergent
sediment and weathering
divergent and destructive
2
Where do deltas form?
in desert areas
at river mouths
on the banks of rivers
in valleys formed by glaciers
3
What is weathering?
the breakdown of rock into sediment
the depositing of rock at a river's mouth
a type of climate
the movement of rock from one place to another
4
What is the purpose of a seismograph?
helps seismologists predict when an earthquake will occur
shows the damage a certain kind of earthquake could cause
Shows the strength and length of an earthquake
shows materials/constructions can survive an earthquake
5
What causes the formation of mountain ranges like the Himalayan Mountains?
two tectonic plates coming together
rain
a violent volcanic eruption
an earthquake causing landslides
6
What breaks down the earth's surface?
constructive process
destructive process
sand dunes
gravity
7
A wall built in front of a reservoir to help control the flow of water.
jetty
dam
sea wall
levee
8
What methods do farmers use to prevent the loss of soil?
build seawalls
contour plowing
build dams
terracing
9
Erosion can be caused by
moving water
ice
gravity
wind
10
A mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions
magma
volcano
earthquake
jetty
11
The movement of sediment and rock particles
deposition
erosion
cementation
weathering
12
What force continues to shape the Grand Canyon today, millions of years after it began to form?
erosion
deposition
earthquakes
volcanoes
13
How does a jetty protect the beach?
it prevents the current from carrying away sand
it is too high for the waves to rise above it
it keeps sand from building up on the beach
it is not protecting the beach at all
14
Freezing and thawing of water in a rock can cause
deposition
weathering
flooding
erosion
15
How can a levee help prevent flooding?
it acts as a drain when water gets too high
it keeps rising water inside stream channels
it pulls water downstream before it can flood
it forms a lake with excess water
16
Which is a method of flood control?
weathering
storm drain system
pollution
beach restoration
17
How does a sea wall protect the coast?
it absorbs the pounding of waves to protect the coast
it holds back floodwaters
it brings in sand to rebuild a beach
it opens to let water through to prevent flooding
18
Which one is NOT a way to control floods?
building dams
storm drain management
building levees
beach nourishment
19
Over time, lava that flows out of a volcano
forms mountains
forms faults
forms valleys
freezes into ice
20
How is a sea arch created?
Waves deposit sand and sediments on the coast quickly.
Earthquakes cause breakage of rock near the oceans.
Earthquakes build landforms on the coast quickly.
Waves can wear away at the earth and change its shape.
21
Most of Earth's volcanoes are found in the Pacific Ocean region known as the...
Epicenter
Ring of Volcanoes
Ring of Fire
The Core
22
What technology is used to measure the energy release from an earthquake?
ripples in water
siesmometer
seismographs
satellites
23
What does a seismologist study?
glaciers
earthquakes
volcanoes
weathering
24
What prevents flooding during heavy rainstorms and can be seen on the sides of streets
terracing
storm drain
dam
levee
25
Beaches that have eroded are reclaimed through
building of sea walls
weathering
beach nourishment
building of terraces
26
What helps build the earth's surface?
canyon
constructive process
destructive process
landslide
27
Which is NOT a result of deposition?
moraine
valley
delta
floodplain
28
What is deposition?
the breaking down of rock into sediment
the dissolving of sediment
the dropping of sediment to form new landforms
the removal of sediment from landforms
29
A wall-like structure that traps sand and small rocks
outer core
jetty
magma
crust
30
The movement of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in Earth's crust.
earthquake
sinkhole
volcano
fault
