Which of the following describes a way in which ice can cause weathering in rocks?
Water fills cracks in rocks, freezes, and breaks the rock.
Melting ice adds flowing water to rivers that smoothing rock
Rocks in lakes get trapped when the water freezes
Glaciers carry large boulders across long distances.

23
A delta forms where the river meets the ocean, which causes...
contains salt water and rivers have fresh water
is usually much colder than the water in the river
has powerful currents that weather rock on the shore
makes the river slow down and deposits sediment
24
Provide evidence that continents on tectonic plates have moved away from each other in the past
frequency of volcanic activity is higher near plate boundary
Ocean currents can be disrupted near plate boundaries.
composition and thickness of rock layers vary by depth
Fossils of the same organisms found on different continents
25
Which description is the best prediction of how soil composition might change with depth?
Weathered rock is only found in the topmost layer of soil
Large fragments of weathered rock are near the topsoil.
