Dunes are large piles of sand that shift slowly around in deserts and on beaches. What causes the dunes to move from place to place?

• Rushing rivers

• Blowing winds

• Freezing water

• Weathering rock

This delta was formed through a slow process of ?

• Weathering

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Too much water

Wind blowing sand from one location to another is an example of

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

When ocean waves crash against rocks

• the rocks will melt

• the rocks will explode as the waves hit them

• pieces of the rock may break off due to weathering

• the rocks will grow larger in size

WEATHERING and EROSION are examples of:

• SLOW changes to earth

• RAPID (fast) changes to earth

The carrying away of broken down rock material often by water, wind, and gravity is called

• Weathering

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Landslide

When earth materials have been eroded and dropped into a new location it is called

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

• Earthquake

James and Elizabeth were conducting an investigation. They were building sand hills and blowing them with a straw. What process where they modeling?

• water erosion

• wind erosion

• deposition erosion

• ice wedging
