The satellite image below shows a portion of the Namib Desert in Africa. This is an ancient, sandy desert with dunes that can be up to 305 m tall. The Namib Desert extends inland from the Atlantic Ocean between 80 km and 200 km and receives only 5 mm to 76 mm of rain each year.

A satellite picture of this same area taken weeks before shows that the shape and location of some sand dunes have changed. Which of these most likely caused the changes in the dunes?

• Ocean waves

• Flowing rivers

• Blowing wind

• Crustal uplift

An example of erosion is

• pieces of rock are blown away by the wind

• pieces of rock carried by water settle in a new location

• a delta

What would be the most likely way this coastline would change over time?

• A fire could destroy the vegetation
• The waves could erode the beach
• The beach would grow due to deposition
• The beach will disappear due to plate tectonics

This is a meteor crater. Which of the following is a prediction of how the crater will change over the next 1,000 years?

• The crater will become more shallow as the sides erode into the center.

• The crater will become deeper as animals make the crater home and burrow deep into the rock.

• The crater will not change over 1,000 years.

• The crater will fill in with lava.
