• Delta

• U Shaped Valley

How is a V-Shaped Valley formed?

• When ice from a glacier slowly melts over time

• When the wind blows large amounts of soil toward the shore

• When an earthquake breaks large rocks into small particles

• When a fast-moving river carves steep sides into hills and mountains.

The force that caused this rock formation to crack was most likely created by —

• ocean waves weathering the rock.

• water freezing and thawing inside the rock.

• a glacier passing over the rock.

• wind creating a tunnel through the rock.

How does erostion shape the land?

• Earth's surface is changed by living things.

• Erosion does not change the shape of the land.

• Erosion happens only in the winter.

• Erosion carries the sediment and rock to another location, which changes the shape of the land.
