Multiple Choice

A student hiking in a rock area on a mountain notices that wide, deep cracks have formed in some of the large rocks. Some of the cracks are so large that the rocks have broken apart. Which process most likely caused these rocks to crack and creak? 

• Erosion by wind
• Water freezing and thawing
• Erosion by fast-moving
• Sediments being deposited.

Multiple Choice

The process in which sediment settles out (drops to the bottom) of the water or wind that is carrying it

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Sedimentation

• Deposition

Multiple Choice

The process in which wind, water, ice or gravity transport rock fragments from one location to another

• Weathering

• Sedimentation

• Erosion

• Deposition

Multiple Choice

How does freezing water cause the weathering of rocks?  The freezing water—

• keeps the rocks in place
• makes the rocks last longer
• expands cracks and breaks rocks
• causes rocks to fall in landslides

Multiple Choice

_____________ is the dropping off/ depositing of rocks.

• Metamorphosis

• Deposition

• Weathering

• Erosion

Multiple Choice

________________ is the breaking off and/ or disintegration of larger rocks into smaller rocks.

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Deposition

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

• Erosion breaks down the rocks, and weathering carries the broken pieces away.

• Erosion carries broken pieces away, and weathering builds the pieces back up into another land mass.

• Weathering carries broken pieces away, and erosion builds the pieces back up into another land mass.

• Weathering breaks down rocks, and erosion carries the broken pieces away.
