Landforms and Soil Review

A student made a mixture of rocks, sand, a few bugs, and some leaves.  This student has modeled —

• how landforms are created.
• the life cycles of plants.
• how rocks change over time.
• the formation of soil.

What land form is this?

• plain
• valley
• mountain
• canyon

How do deltas change over time?

• More sediment will build up where a river meets an ocean and a river will develop more branches.

• Water erosion will continue and oceans will wear away the land.

• Wind will continue to move sediment into the ocean, creating big deltas.
