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