Unit 4: Earth Science

What is weathering?

• A force that pulls pieces of rock downhill

• A process that builds up features on Earth's surface

• The picking up and moving of rock pieces from one place to another

• the breaking down of rock into smaller pieces at or near the Earth's surface.

Which is one way that earthquakes change landforms?

• They release ash and melted rock

• They scrape away rocks on Earth's surface

• They cause cracks to form in Earth's surface

• They pick up weathered rock particles and move them

How are dams and levees alike?

• Both control flooding

• Both control weathering

• Both are natural barriers

• Both prevent coastal erosion

How do storm drains help prevent flooding?

• They act like levees

• They move storm water to dams

• They block storm water from streets and houses

• They allow storm water to flow into nearby waterways
