The Colorado Plateau in the South East
Lava flows in Southern Utah
All of these
Most of utah's valleys and mountain ranges
11
How do volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift affect Earth's surface?
They don't change the Earth's surface
Create mountains and valleys
Create arches and buttes
Deposition
12
LandscapeArch had to be closed to visitors walking near it. How could an arch become dangerous?
Ice could fall off of it, harming visitors
Erosion made it possible for it to collapse
Snakes are attracted to some arches
The soil around the arch became polluted
13
What erosion happens quickly?
valley formation
arch formation
Landslide
There is no fast erosion
14
In the spring, rocks often fall onto mountain roads. Why?
The snow is no longer holding them
The rocks have grown during the winter
Ice freezes in the rock at night, cracking them
The days are longer with more light
15
What types of erosion can affect a river valley?
Gravity erosion pulling rocks down from the valley sides
All of these
Wind erosion blowing soil into rivers
water erosion digging the valley floor deeper
16
