MFU1: Lesson 1 Quizizz

What happens when a stream slows down?

• The stream has more energy for erosion.

• • The stream picks up larger particles.

• • The stream deposits sediment.

• • The stream picks up more sediment.

The diagram shows the path of a river. Structure A is an oxbow lake, which was originally part of the river. This kind of lake can form when sediments build up and change the path of a river. What are the two main processes that formed this river and lake?

• erosion and deposition

• erosion and chemical weathering

• deposition and physical weathering

• chemical weathering and physical weathering

What is the process by which a delta forms?

• A stream cuts a new channel during a flood.

• A river overflows its banks and deposits sediment.

• As it enters the ocean, a river slows down and drops its sediment.

• A stream leaves a steep mountain valley, enters a flatter plain, and drops its sediment.

When glaciers retreat, they leave behind huge blocks of ice and deposited sediments. When these ice blocks melt, they can form kettle lakes surrounded by the sediments. What would likely happen if sediment did not build up around the ice blocks?

• The water in the lake would dry up.

• Vegetation would not be able to grow.

• The water would not stay contained.

• Ice blocks would not be warmed enough to melt.

Over time, repeated cycles of heating and cooling can cause a rock to crack. The rock may then break into smaller pieces. What is this process called?

• erosion

• deposition

• subsidence

• • 
    weathering

In places where there is loose sediment and strong wind, the wind can pick up the sediment and carry it. When the wind slows, it deposits the sediment. Which type of sediment will be dropped first as the wind slows?

• • the biggest

• the lightest

• the smallest

• the heaviest

Landslides, rockfalls, and mudslides are responsible for both erosion and deposition. What force is mainly responsible for the erosion and deposition that happens in landslides, rockfalls, and mudslides?

• ice

• wind

• • 
    

    gravity

• • 
    

    temperature

What do we call the process in which rock is broken down by changes in its chemical makeup.

• Chemical weathering

• Mechanical weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

The grinding/scratching away of rock by other rock particles carried in water, ice, or wind

• Frost wedging

• Exfoliation

• Oxidation

• Abrasion

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

• Erosion breaks down the rocks, and weathering carries the broken pieces away.

• Erosion carries broken pieces away, and weathering builds the pieces back up into another land mass.

• Weathering carries broken pieces away, and erosion builds the pieces back up into another land mass.

• Weathering breaks down rocks, and erosion carries the broken pieces away.
