Which of the following best describes the process of erosion?

The movement of rocks, soil, and other materials by wind, water, or ice to new locations

The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces

What characteristic defines a landform?

It is a natural feature created by nature.

It is a structure built by humans.

It is any object found on the Earth's surface.

It must be a large, mountainous area.

Besides water, what other natural elements does Mother Nature use to wear down the Earth's surface?

Volcanic activity and earthquakes

Which of the following are examples of erosion? Select TWO!

Water carrying mud and sediments down a river

Wind blowing sand from one place to another

Which slow change most likely caused the crack in the boulder?

Wedging caused by freezing and thawing in the boulder

50 mph winds weathered the rock into sediments

Rapid series of earthquakes caused the boulder to split

Which TWO statements about weathering, erosion, and deposition are true?

Erosion moves sediments to new locations

Deposition is a process that involves sediments being dropped off due to gravity.

Weathering breaks rock down into larger sediments

Weathering is a fast and easy process that takes one to two months

The agents of weathering, erosion, and deposition are wind, earthquakes, and ice.

The breakdown of rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface occurs when rocks are subjected to temperature changes, water, wind, and other environmental factors that cause them to break apart into smaller pieces. This change of rocks in the San Antonio region has played a significant role in the forma􀆟on of its landforms.

In San Antonio, the Balcones Escarpment involves the transportation of weathered materials by natural agents such as water, wind, ice, and gravity. Over time, rivers, streams, and rainfall have carved out valleys, canyons, and other landforms, contributing to the diverse landscape of the area.

In San Antonio, the deposit of sediment has primarily occurred in river valleys and floodplains. For example, The San Antonio River has deposited sediment layers along its banks, creating fertile soils supporting vegetation and agriculture in the region.

Which statement does NOT describe the correct explanation of weathering, erosion, or deposition in the formation of sedimentary rock?

Weathering is the movement of sediment, and deposition is the dropping of sediment in a new location

Weathering is the breaking down of rock into gravel, and erosion is the movement of sediment.

Erosion is the movement of sediment, and deposition is the dropping of sediment in a new location

Deposition is the dropping of sediment in a new location, and weathering is the breaking down of rock into gravel.

On a forest field trip, a student is assigned a list of observations to make. One observation the student needs to find evidence of weathering. Which activity would allow the student to check weathering off the list?

A stone becoming smooth in a flowing riverbed

An ant placing a soil particle on an anthill

A puddle getting smaller as the sun shines on it
