Erosion and deposition are processes that constantly change Earth's surface. How are erosion and deposition different?

Erosion moves materials, deposition is the dropping of the materials

Erosion acts quickly, deposition acts slowly.

Erosion acts underground, deposition acts above ground.

Erosion breaks down materials, deposition is the movement and dropping of materials

1. A group of students were observing the land around the creek near their school. Each student was asked to explain the natural processes that had shaped the creek and the land around it. Which is the best argument to explain what happened?

It was a slow destructive process caused by the movement of water.

It was a fast constructive process caused the by wind.

It was a fast destructive process caused by a glacier.

It was a slow constructive process caused by earthquakes.

How is the surrounding land affected when a volcano erupts and generates lava flow?

The flowing lava cools and creates a layer of volcanic rock, burying all living things.

The heat of the flowing lava stimulates the seeds of pine trees to sprout at the base of the volcano

The lava indefinitely damages the surrounding land so that plants can no longer grow.

The lava pushes the soil down to the base of the volcano causing plants to grow only at the volcano’s base.

The landform below is a sea arch. It could be included as evidence to support which of the following statements.

Waves are destructive forces that over time can wear away at the earth’s coast and change its shape.

Earthquakes are constructive forces that build landforms on the coast quickly.

Waves are constructive forces that deposit sand and sediments on the coast slowly.

Earthquakes are destructive forces that cause breakage of rock formations near the oceans.

Which of the following directly formed the Grand Canyon?

Erosion due to the Colorado River

A sudden earthquake that shifted land

Wind erosion over a long period of time

A student is developing an interactive model for her classmates using sand, red clay, and gravel. She places a mound of each type of soil material in the middle of separate large pans so that the height of each mound is 10 centimeters tall. She then measures 50 mL of water into three cups. She creates one “rain cup” that has holes in the bottom and simulates rainfall on each of the mounds using 50 mL of water. Finally, the student measures the resulting height of each mound and records additional observations in a table. Which question is the student most likely trying to answer by demonstrating this interactive model?

What soil material erodes the most during rainfall?

How does soil deposition affect land after it rains?

What soil material absorbs the most rainfall?

Why do different materials experience weathering at different rates?

1. Ezra creates a model for science class. He uses a box filled evenly with sand. He turns on a hair dryer and blows air at the model for one minute. The pictures show his model. Which best describes what Ezra's model is designed to show?

The creation of a dune through wind deposition.

The formation of a delta through wind erosion

The formation of a mountain through wind erosion

The creation of an island through wind deposition

Beaches along Florida's coast often change shape when a hurricane or other strong storm hits. What causes this change in shape?

The wind and waves from the storm move the sand from one place to another.

The rain from the storm erodes the sand away from the shoreline

The waves from the storm wear away the rock underneath the sand.

The tornadoes from the storm pick up the sand and drop it out in the ocean.

Dalitso creates a volcano model. Her model is designed to appear to erupt with lava. The lava will flow down the side of the volcano and harden. Which process did Dalitso most likely build the model to show?

The constructive process of land formation

The destructive process of erosion

The constructive process of faulting

The destructive process of weathering

Ellana creates a model for science class. She demonstrates her model by pouring water and sediment down a fast-flowing channel. The water flows down the channel and enters a slow-moving pool at the bottom. The picture shows Ellana's model. Which best describes what Ellana's model shows?

The formation of a delta, which is a constructive process.

The formation of islands, which is a constructive process.

The formation of a delta, which is a destructive process.

The formation of a sinkhole, which is a destructive process.

What is the main difference between weathering and erosion?

Weathering breaks down materials, while erosion moves them.

Weathering can involve wind, rain, hail, or snow, while erosion involves only rain.

Weathering is completely natural, while erosion is man-made.

Weathering only affect rocks, while erosion only affects soil.

Which example describes a method that could be used to prevent erosion on a hill?

Plant trees or plants along the hill.

Add extra sand on top of the hill.

Put stones at the bottom of the hill.

The photograph below shows the destruction caused by fast flowing currents in a river near a small town. Based on what you can observe in the photograph, what type of technology should the town consider to limit the impacts of future flooding?

The town should consider building a dam to control the flow of the water.

The town should consider constructing a levee to reduce erosion.

The town should consider contour plowing to reduce the loss of rich soil.

The town should consider terracing to reduce runoff.

A well-populated beachfront community in the Outer Banks of North Carolina is trying to decide whether or not to fund the construction of a seawall to protect their homes. To make their decision, they held a community meeting last week. Which of the following questions from the community meeting is most relevant to investigate in order to determine whether or not a seawall is needed?

How do the heights of sand dunes compare across the beachfront?

How many tourists have visited the beach over the last 5 years?

What is the rainfall total that took place last month with Hurricane Matthew?

What are the measures of the size of the shoreline over the past 10 years?

How do seismology studies help scientists?

They help them to prevent future earthquakes.

They allow them to know exactly where an earthquake happened.

They help them to know exactly when an earthquake will happen.

They allow them to repair earthquake damages.

What is the best way to prevent erosion along a shoreline?

plant native vegetation to hold the sand in place

introduce a new species of fish to the area

build hotels along the beach to boost tourism

remove the old shells along the beach

Which of the following correctly compares dams and levees?

Both structures are designed to prevent flooding, but a levee does not block the flow of water like a dam.

A dam is designed to prevent flooding, and a levee is designed to change the direction of water flow.

A levee is designed to prevent flooding, and a dam is designed to change the direction of water flow

Both structures are designed to prevent flooding, but a dam does not block the flow of water like a levee.

Which of the following techniques should farmers use to prevent erosion?

plant rows of trees around the edge of the crop field

water crops with only distilled water

spray pesticides around the base of each crop

leave the field unplanted for a season to increase minerals

The picture shows a jetty. How does a jetty help to protect a coastline from erosion?

It prevents the sea level from rising and removing sediment.

It becomes a barrier against waves and currents

It deposits sand created by the weathering of the rocks

It forces sand to stay on the beach by increasing waves

How do seismology studies help scientists?

They help them to prevent future earthquakes.

They allow them to know exactly where an earthquake happened.

They help them to know exactly when an earthquake will happen.

They allow them to repair earthquake damages.

The Appalachian Mountains stretch from Mississippi up to Newfoundland, Canada. What is the best explanation for how this mountain range formed?

Wind has pushed rocks and soil into valleys that have built up over time

Volcanoes erupted for long periods of time and slowly built up the mountains.

Rivers and streams flowing down from Canada deposited soil in large amounts until the mountains formed

Parts of Earth's crust slowly collided until one part was on top of the other and pushed upward.
