5
A glacier is a....
sandy beach
a rocky forest
a large mass of ice and snow moving on land
6
What is a cause of erosion and how can it be prevented?
all of the above
Wind; People can plant trees around sensitive areas to block some of it.
Rivers; Stone walls can be built at riverbanks to stop it break sediment.
Rain water; Farmers can plow across fields to make furrows that catch it.
7
How does the climate in an area near the ocean compare to an area further inland?
It has warmer weather all year round
It has cooler summers and warmer winters
It has cooler weather all year round
It has warmer summers and cooler winters
8
How does a sand dune move?
Wind deposits sand to build up the dune. then gravity pulls it down
Running water erodes the dune, carrying the sand to a new place
Moving glaciers push sand dunes from one place to another
Wind erodes one side of the dune then deposits sand on the other
9

12
The three climate zones are the
sun, moon, sky
polar, temperate, and tropical
greenhouse, global warming, and nature
13
How does wind cause erosion?
Wind causes sudden shifts in Earth's crust
Wind blows dry sand and soil to new places
Wind pulls rock and soil downhill
Wind carries soil to the mouth of rivers to form deltas

18
The four major spheres of the earth's systems are....
sun, moon, stars, and asteroids
air, water, land, and all living things
oxygen, nitrogen, helium, and cardon dioxide
19
What is an example of how deposition changes Earth's surface?
a narrow valley forms as a glacier moves, grinding rock as it goes
a wide beach disappears as crashing ocean waves carry away much of the sand
a river lays down sediment at the mouth of a river forming a delta
a rock face becomes smooth as wind blasts away particles of rock from it
20
What factors may cause a rock to become particles of sand over time?
erosion and weathering
Wind and water deposition
heat and pressure
sudden heating and cooling
