Deflation is when heavy materials are transported to new locations.

1

True

2

Multiple Choice

Rill erosion can become gully erosion if it continue to erode the ground.

1

True

2

False

27

Multiple Choice

All water soaks into Earth's surface as soon as it hits the ground.

1

True

2

False

28

Multiple Choice

During stream erosion, if the flow continues to move alone it can pick up a 'load'.

1

True

2

False

29

Sheet erosion is when water is absorbed in the ground quickly.

1

True

2

False

30

Multiple Choice

When waves constantly pound against shore, they do not affect landscape.

1

True

2

False

33

Multiple Choice

During shore erosion, metric tons of sediment is moved along our shorelines.

True

2

False

34

35

Multiple Choice

Soil erosion is harmful to the environment because it removes topsoil.

1

True

2

False

36

Multiple Choice

Soil erosion is affected by waves crashing over a landscape.

1

True

2

False

37

Multiple Choice

Glaciers can melt & cause water to flow into cracks of rocks. Later when the water refreezes, the rocks are still whole & the glaciers pass over them.
