Erosion, Deposition and Weathering Review

Which natural process breaks solid rock into small pieces?

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Meandering

Which best represents land being affected by a constructive process?

• weathering of rock by freezing and thawing of water

• deposition of sand forming a dune near the coast

• strong earthquake causing a landslide

• river eroding rocks as it flows through a canyon

The changing of the Earth's surface can be constructive or destructive. How can a destructive change lead to a constructive change?

• A volcanic eruption causes an earthquake.

• A landslide blocks a river and causes a flood.

• Water weathers rock and the rock pieces are eroded away.

• A river erodes soil and deposits it further downstream.

What is the difference between magma and lava?

• Magma is molten liquid which reaches the Earth's surface, and lava is molten liquid that is beneath the Earth's surface.

• Lava is molten liquid which reaches the Earth's surface, and magma is molten liquid that is beneath the Earth's surface.

• Magma is molten liquid that erupts from land volcanoes, and lava is molten liquid that erupts from oceanic volcanoes.

• Lava is molten liquid that erupts from land volcanoes, and magma is molten liquid that erupts from oceanic volcanoes.

How are Japan and Hawaii similar?

• They are both abyssal plains.

• They are both on mid-ocean ridges.

• They are both seamounts.

• They are both volcanic islands

What causes the change?

• deposition by water

• deposition by waves

• landslide due to gravity

• magma eruption from volcanoes
