Front

Which type of plate boundary is most commonly associated with the formation of mountains? Options: Divergent boundary, Convergent boundary, Transform boundary, Passive boundary

Back

Convergent boundary

Front

What is the process called when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by wind, water, or ice?

Back

Erosion

Front

Which weather condition is most likely to increase the rate of erosion on a hillside?

Back

Heavy rainfall

Front

Which plate boundary is characterized by plates sliding past each other horizontally?

Back

Transform boundary

Front

Given a scenario where a river flows rapidly after a storm, explain how this weather event can affect the rate of erosion along the riverbanks.

Back

The rate of erosion increases due to the higher water flow.

Front

Compare the effects of wind and water as agents of erosion on a sandy beach. Which is likely to cause more rapid changes and why?

Back

Water, because waves and currents can move more sand quickly

Front

The process that breaks down rocks and other materials on Earth's surface is called

Back

Weathering

Front

Which of these is an example of erosion? Rain breaking down rocks on a mountain into smaller pieces. Wind blowing away sediment to a new place on the mountain. All of the above.

Back

Wind blowing away sediment to a new place on the mountain.
