How is a V-shaped valley created?

When a river erodes away the land.

A delta, the landform found at the mouth of a river, forms when –

the river deposits sediments as it slows

What is the difference between a u-shaped and a v-shaped valley?

u-shaped by glacier and v-shaped by running water

Which of the following best explains how these layers can become rock over many years?

The weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock

Canyons and deltas are similar in that both form -

due to the action of moving water

Which condition is necessary for dunes to be formed?

Loose, sandy sediments and strong winds

Which of these describes how this canyon was most likely formed?

Floods eroded the sandstone away from the canyon walls

Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –

settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments

A u-shaped valley is created by erosion due to...

the movement of large masses of ice

How did the delta at the end of the Rio Grande?

The river deposited of sediment from land erosion

What are fossil fuels?

Types of fuel from organic dead organisms.

sediment is move from one place to another

Answers

1
How is a V-shaped valley created?
When a glacier carves out the land.
When a river erodes away the land.
2
How is a V-Shaped valley formed?
Water
Wind
None of the above
Ice
3
Most sedimentary rocks are formed by weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction, and...
lava
pigmentation
magma
cementation
4
Compaction and Cementation makes . . .
Metamorphic rocks
Igneous rocks
Sedimentary rocks
5
Layer 3 most likely formed in which of these environments?
Desert
Forest
Tundra
Ocean
6
Deposition is the opposite of erosion
True
False
7
What is a slowly moving mass or river of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow?
Glacier
Plateau
Ice
Mountain
8
Which are fossil fuels?
natural gas
oil
All of the above
coal
9
Which two processes complete this diagram?
Erosion and compaction
Evaporation and dissolving
Melting and cooling
Compaction and cementation
10
This wide U-shaped valley was most likely formed by --
a glacier
a hurricane
flash flooding
melting snow
11
A delta, the landform found at the mouth of a river, forms when –
plants on the river bank cause erosion
water flowing down the mountain makes it taller
rushing water makes stones in the river smooth
the river deposits sediments as it slows
12
What is the difference between a u-shaped and a v-shaped valley?
u-shaped wind and v-shaped water
u-shaped by glacier and v-shaped by running water
a u-shaped is formed by running water and v-shaped by ice
v-shaped wind and u-shaped running water
13
Which of the following best explains how these layers can become rock over many years?
Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock
The weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock
Water temperatures changes turn sand in the sediment to rock
Pollution caused by humans turns the sediment into rock
14
Canyons and deltas are similar in that both form -
where lots of sediments collect
due to the action of moving water
high in the tallest mountains
in and around active volcanoes
15
What made this valley?
a meandering river
a river
a glacier
16
Weathering
breaks rocks
moves rocks
17
Which condition is necessary for dunes to be formed?
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
Frequent rains and abundant plant life
Strong ocean currents and large boulders
Loose, sandy sediments and strong winds
18
This U-shaped Valley was most likely caused by a...
glacier
river
earthquake
windstorm
19
All of the following are necessary for the formation of fossil fuels EXCEPT –
intense pressure
fresh water
organic matter
time
20
what does weathering do?
it breaks and loosens the rock
it does magic
it moves rocks
it does nothing
21
What changes buried organic matter into fossil fuels?
Heat and pressure
Ocean currents
Volcanic activity
Industrial pollution
22
Which of these describes how this canyon was most likely formed?
Ice wedged into the rock and weathered the canyon walls
Glaciers eroded the canyon rock as they melted and moved
Wind blew large rocks that smashed against the canyon walls
Floods eroded the sandstone away from the canyon walls
23
Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –
are carried by currents all over the planet
get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy
decay completely so that their matter is recycled
settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments
24
A u-shaped valley is created by erosion due to...
fast flowing rivers
continuous volcanic eruptions
landslides
the movement of large masses of ice
25
How did the delta at the end of the Rio Grande?
Hurricanes pushed soil and debris from the Gulf onto land
The river deposited of sediment from land erosion
Sand and mud from the Gulf were washed ashore by tsunamis
The river cut through the solid bedrock of the valley
26
Are fossil fuels renewable?
Yes.
No.
27
What are fossil fuels?
Types of cold fuels.
Types of fluid fuels.
Types of fuel from organic dead organisms.
Types of fuel from rocks.
28
How is a v-shaped valley formed?
erosion
a river
Glacier
by a hill
29
What is Erosion
sediment is move from one place to another
loam is made from soil,slit,and clay
rock is broken
sediment is deposited in a different place
