Unit 8 Changes to Earths Surface

Features of the surface of the Earth such as mountains, hills, dunes, oceans, and rivers are called

• delta
• erosion
• landforms

The movement of weathered material on the Earth's surface by wind, water, and ice is

• erosion
• deposition
• landslides

The breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water and ice is

• deposition
• delta
• weathering

The buildup of land by depositing sediment and soil in a new location is

• earthquake

• deposition

Identify this landform:

• Dune
• Stream
• Volcano
• Island

A ________ is a break or crack in rocks where Earth's crust can move. 

• soil
• ice
• fault
• plateau

These rocks were broken apart from the continuous freeze/thaw of water in the cracks of the rocks. This is an example of:

• ice wedging
• acid rain
• permeability
• abrasion

The movement of weathered material on the Earth's surface by wind, water, and ice is

• erosion
• deposition
• landslides

A sudden release of energy under the Earth's surface that makes the ground shake or crack is

• weathering
• earthquake
• landform

The breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water and ice is

• deposition
