Which of the following causes most erosion that occurs along seashores?

• Impact from ocean waves

• acid rain

• acids produced by seaweed

• gases dissolved in ocean water

How is natural gas formed?

• It is formed by decomposing plants over millions of years

• It is formed deep inside the Earth above magma chambers

• it is condensed from the atmosphere and seeps into the soil

• it is formed by some of the same organisms that formed oil deposits

In which climate would frost wedging most likely occur?

• a wet climate in which temperatures remain below freezing

• a wet climate in which temperatures alternate between below freezing and above freezing

• a dry climate in which temperatures remain below freezing

• a dry climate in which temperatures alternate between below freezing and above freezing

The Rocky Mountains are more jagged than the Appalachian Mountains. This suggests that:

• Erosion has worn down the Appalachian Mountains more than the Rocky Mountains.

• More sediment has deposited on the Rocky Mountains.

• The Rocky Mountains are older

• The Appalachian Mountains are more likely to experience landslides
