STAAR Review - Natural Resources & Changes to Earths Surface

What is the movement of sediments from one place to another?

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

• All of the above

Glaciers dropping rocks and sediments in new places is an example of -

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

• All of the Above

Which land feature was most likely made by the slow movement of a glacier?

• 
• 
• 
• 

The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place and deposit it in another is called-

• Soil conservation

• ice wedging

• sound energy

• erosion and deposition

Which of the following processes is not considered a rapid change to Earth’s surface?

• Volcanic eruption

• Earthquake

• Landslide

When water enters the cracks in a large rock and freezes, the water expands. Over time, water freezing and thawing –

• erodes the large rock through a river

• weathers the rock into sediments

• deposits lava in a new place

• changes the rock into a glacier

The images show a river delta and sand dunes. Which statement best explains how the formation of deltas and sand dunes is similar?

• Both are formed by the movement of glaciers.

• Both are formed by water eroding sediments.

• Both are formed by wind weathering rocks.

• Both are formed be deposition of sediments.
