Base your answers to questions 5 through 7 on the diagram below and on your knowledge of science. The diagram shows what happens to rock materials as they interact with air and water. Letters A, B, C, and D show some rock materials at different places on Earth’s surface.

Which force causes the rock materials to move from A to B?

• electricity

• friction

• gravity

• magnetism

Base your answer to this question on the diagram and on your knowledge of science. The diagram shows what happens to rock materials as they interact with air and water. Letters A, B, C, and D show some rock materials at different places on Earth’s surface.

Letter C shows the process of erosion, because rock material is

• moved by running water

• chipped, with sharp edges

• forming solid rock

• soaked in ocean water

Base your answer to this question on the diagram and on your knowledge of science. The diagram shows what happens to rock materials as they interact with air and water. Letters A, B, C, and D show some rock materials at different places on Earth’s surface.

Letter D shows the process of deposition, because rock material is
