4.7A Weathering, Erosion and Deposition Review Game

Students conduct an investigation to learn hat type of soil would best support the growth of grass. They spread 10 grams of grass seed over four different types of soil in four separate planters. The students add 20ML of water to each and place them by a sunny window. They observe changes and recorded the data in the table. Which statement BEST describes the results of this investigation?

• Gravel did not allow the grass seed to root and grow.

• Grass seeds in potting soil grew slowly at first but then grew better than the seeds in other soils.

• The seed planted in the clay will eventually grow with time and care.

• The seed planted in the silt did not get enough water to support growth.

The soil observed is most likely...

• Silt

• Loam

• Clay

• Sand

• Scoop soil with a large shovel. Place samples in a bucket. Compare the color and texture.

• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and chemical splash goggles. Collect samples with a scoop. Place samples in plastic bag. Examine the soils, and compare color and texture.

• Wear protective boots. Drag a small scoop along the bottom of the water to collect water samples in a container. View under a microscope to see small plants and animals.

• Wear chemical splash goggles. Reach into the pond, and collect several soil samples. Place samples in closed containers.

Which natural process caused the rock to break apart?

• Water filled the space in the rock and caused the rock to dissolve.

• Rocks filled the space in the rock and split the rock because of the increase in weight.

• Water filled the space in the rock, froze, and expanded until the rock split.

• Sand filled the space in the rock, became wet, and expanded until the rock broke.

Which statement best describes deposition?

• The movement of sediment by wind, water or ice.

• The breaking down of rocks by water, wind or ice.

• A process by which wind or water drops sediment in a new location.

• None of these.

• Beach erosion makes beach homes unstable.

• Receding shorelines can reduce tourism.

• Increasing sand can alter the shoreline.

• Piers can become structurally unstable due to erosion.
