tilt the container, moving the dirt and sand to a new location.
pour water over the dirt and sand moving it to a new location.
use a fan to move the dirt and sand to a new location.
drop rocks on the hill, moving the dirt to a new location.
10
Which example describes a method that could be used to prevent erosion on a hill?
Plant trees or plants along the hill.
Add extra sand on top of the hill.
Make the hill steeper.
Put stones at the bottom of the hill.
11
What forces created Tallulah Gorge?
Constructive- tectonic plated separate and created a Gorge with a river.
Destructive- glaciers melted and left behing a river and a gorge.
Constructive- sediment was deposited along the side and built the mountain.
Destructive- the river carved away the mountain over time.
12
What does this technology do?
Uses GIS-mapping to help to control flooding.
Tracks volcanic movement to stop volcanoes from erupting.
Uses satellite imagery to record vibrations caused by an earthquake.
Measures vibrations in the crust to predict eruptions and earthquakes.
13
This is a sand dune. How is it created constructively and/or destructively?
Both - Wind erodes the sand and plate tectonics form the mound.
Only Constructively Sadndkeeps building up overtime t form a mountain.
Only Destructively- wind breaks away land and carries the sand away.
Both- Wind erodes sand then it is deposited and forms a dune.
14
Why is it important for flood forecast maps to predict flooding in an entire region?
To allow people to take proper measures to prepare for flood
