1
A half dome mountain was a full dome but half weathered away. What caused the full dome first?
magma pushing up the Earth's crust
tectonic plates floating into each other
sediment deposited by the wind
a volcanic eruption that lava cooled from
2
This set-up shows sediment moving downstream. As the water erodes the land, what will happen?
the river will get shallower as magma pushes it up
the river will get deeper as more sediment is carried away
the river will get wider as sediment is deposited underneath
the river will get taller as sediment builds up on the sides
3
The fossils in this rock indicate that it formed from a layer that was once...
a riverbed with fish and shrimp
a forest with lots of trees and plants
at the bottom of a lake
an ocean with lots of marine animals
4
Which layer formed after layer C?
C
A
B
D
5
You can trace fault lines all along the red dots on this map. The red dots must represent...
earthquakes
tectonic plates
volcanoes
both red and blue
6
Where is the deposition in this set-up?
it is moving down the stream
it is the weathered hole at the top
it is broken down from the sides
it is in the pan at the bottom
7
When the wind stops and drops the sand, it builds up land. This is an example of what process?
weathering
deposition
erosion
sand dunes
8
Which layer is currently experiencing the most heat and pressure?
white
black
brown
all are feeling the same
9
This canyon first started to form as a result of what happening?
weathering starting a lake
erosion starting a river
a glacier carving a valley
an earthquake cracking the land
10
The black layer is obsidian (igneous rock) What must have happened to cause this layer to form?
geologists sprayed it to test radioactivity
lava must have erupted and cooled on the surface
heat and pressure from underneath turned it black
oil from the layer below, stained it black
11
Which layer formed last?
D
A
B
C
12
Which layer formed first and is therefore the oldest?
B
A
C
D
13
Which layer is the newest?
D
B
A
C
14
What caused the fossils and sand to come together into this sedimentary rock?
pressure
heat
oil
both red and blue
15
When wind carries smaller broken down pieces away from the rock formation, it is what process?
sediment
weathering
deposition
erosion
16
Wind causes this rock formation to get thinner. Wind breaking it down to sand is an example of
deposition
erosion
weathering
hoodoo
17
Which layer would be most likely to have oil formed from it?
D
B
A
C
18
The fan-shaped landform at the end of this river is the result of deposition. What is it?
a u-shaped valley
a sand dune
a sea arch
a delta
19
Where does the sand on the beaches come from?
wind erosion from the desert
deposition from a river
weathered rock from the cliffs
dirt left by rainwater
20

water
wind
deposition
erosion
