The Rio Grande Valley is located at the southern tip of Texas at the end of a long river known as the Rio Grande. How did the delta at the end of the Rio Grande form?

The river deposited large amounts of sediment from land erosion.

Sand and mud from the Gulf of Mexico were washed ashore by tsunamis.

The river cut through the solid bedrock of the valley

Hurricanes pushed soil and debris from the Gulf of Mexico onto the land.

The photograph shows a canyon in northern Arizona. Which of these best describes how this canyon was most likely formed?

Floods eroded the sandstone away from the canyon walls

Glaciers eroded the canyon rock as they melted and moved.

Ice wedged into cracks in the rock and weathered the canyon walls

Wind blew large rocks that smashed against the canyon walls.

Students constructed this model of a hill by covering sugar cubes with clay. The students placed the model in a large pan and poured hot water over it every day for a week. What does the model best represent?

The formation of caves in hills

A method for reviewing fossil fuels from hills

A method for separating minerals

The diagram shows a river flowing onto the ocean. Which process is shown in the image above?

The creation of a delta through the erosion and deposition of sediments

The creation of a U-Shape valley by a moving glacier

The formation of a mountain by a moving river

The creation of a river by the deposition of sediments.

When water enters the cracks in a large rock and freezes, the water expands. Over time, water freezing and thawing –

weathers the rock into sediments

erodes the large rock through a river

changes the rock into a glacier

Which student-created model best represents the formation of a delta?

A student poured water into a stream table filled with dirt and observed sediments get deposited at the end of the table in a triangular shape.

A student carefully placed pieces of gravel in a hill.

A student set up a tray of sand and blew through a straw to form a hill of sand.

A student packed damp sand in a tray then scraped a large ice cube along the bottom.

Which of the following describes deposition due to water?

Water in a river slowed and dropped off sediments to form a delta.

A river breaks rock into small pieces.

Strong waves crash against rock, breaking off sediments.

Wind blew sand and deposited them in the formation of a sand dune.
