Soils, Rocks, and Landforms Review (Part 2)

How do weathered rock pieces move from one place to another?

• Humans carry earth materials to different locations.

• Water, wind, and ice move the material through a process called erosion.

• Water is the only way earth materials move to a different location.

What is the effect of flowing water on earth material if there is a steep slope?

• The steeper the slope, the greater rate of erosion.

• The steeper the slope, the slower rate of erosion.

• Slope does not change the rate of erosion.

What impact do bodies of water (streams, rivers) have on the landscape of earth?

• Bodies of water do not impact the landscape of the earth.

• Bodies of water create mountains and volcanoes.

• Bodies of water cause erosion, which creates valleys and canyons.

How can we best represent elevation of landforms on maps?

• We can best represent elevation of landforms on maps by creating/using topographic maps.

• We can create climate maps to represent elevation.

• We can write the elevations all over the map.

When contour lines are close together, what does that mean?

• The slope is not very steep.

• The slope is steep.

In what situation would you need to use a topographic map?

• swimming

• hiking

• playing a sport

• cooking a meal

Select all the events that could change the earth's surface quickly.

• earthquake

• landslides

• floods

• volcanoes
