You notice a rock has a crack during winter, what happens to the crack after winter?

it got bigger because water froze and expanded

How does weathering help form a sandy beach by the ocean?

waves break rocks into pieces, making grains of sand

If you built a store on a low cliff near the ocean, how could erosion affect the store?

sediment that the store is standing on could be removed

How would large boulders most likely have gotten in the middle of a grassy field?

erosion and deposition by a glacier

Which is an example of Earth's surface changing slowly over time?

canyons get a little deeper each year

How do moraines form?

as glaciers melt away, sediment gets deposited

What most likely happens during a sandstorm?

sediment is deposited in a new place

What is different about a coastline compared to a plain, valley, and mountain?

only found where land meets an ocean

Why would a farm near a river have rich soil?

floods from the river deposited the rich soil

Answers

1
You notice a rock has a crack during winter, what happens to the crack after winter?
it got bigger because water eroded the rock
it got bigger because water froze and expanded
it got smaller after water deposited sediment
it got smaller when water mixed with dust
2
How does weathering help form a sandy beach by the ocean?
sandstorms deposit sand from nearby deserts
chemicals in the waves dissolve large rocks to sand
waves break rocks into pieces, making grains of sand
melting glaciers deposit grains of sand
3
If a cave had walls made of limestone, it would have formed through weathering by...
acid
wind
ice
waves
4
If you built a store on a low cliff near the ocean, how could erosion affect the store?
the soil around the store could be moved by a glacier
sediment that the store is standing on could be removed
extra sediment could build up around the store
the paint on the store could be worn away by abrasion
5
How would large boulders most likely have gotten in the middle of a grassy field?
weathering and abrasion by a sinkhole
erosion and deposition by a glacier
weathering and erosion by a river
abrasion and deposition by a sandstorm
6
Which is an example of Earth's surface changing slowly over time?
canyons get a little deeper each year
waves get a little bigger each year
valleys get a little narrower each year
wind gets a little stronger each year
7
How do moraines form?
ice in glaciers cause rocks to freeze and break apart
glaciers caused erosion, which enriches the soil
as glaciers melt away, sediment gets deposited
rocks carried in glaciers become sharp and jagged
8
What is the breaking apart or wearing away of rock?
deposition
erosion
landslide
weathering
9
A river valley and canyon both...
are flat
are formed by moving water
are found near oceans
rise high above the land around them
10
What most likely happens during a sandstorm?
sediment is deposited in a new place
a cave forms underground
water freezes and splits rocks
rocks and soil slide down a hillside
11
What does abrasion do to rocks over time?
it makes them big
it makes them blow away
it makes them crack
it makes them smooth
12
What is different about a coastline compared to a plain, valley, and mountain?
it's a high place with steep sides
it's formed by flowing water
only found where land meets an ocean
it's a deep narrow valley
13
Why would a farm near a river have rich soil?
rain dissolved minerals to make the soil rich
plants cracked rocks into pieces to make the soil rich
floods from the river deposited the rich soil
wind brought the rich soil from the river
14
Weathering and erosion cause rock and soil to slip downhill creating what?
a landslide
a cave
glacier
a dust cloud
15
What is formed by a river depositing sediment when it reaches an ocean?
cave
moraine
delta
sinkhole
