Question 14

Which of the following best describes how mountains change over time?

Accepted Answer

The elevation of the peaks will decrease due to erosion.

Mountains stay the same, they never change.

Question 15

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.

Blowing wind

Answer

Ocean waves

Answer

Flowing rivers

Answer

Crustal uplift
