Topos and satellite Images

How would expect this feature to change over time?

• The crater will continue to deepen as water erodes the rim.

• The crater will fill as wind deposits sediments inside the crater.

• The crater will continue to deepen as wind weathers the rocks inside the crater.

• The crater will fill as water weathers the sediments outside the crater.

A geologist wants to predict flow rates of the river coming down the mountain in the topographic map.  What is the approximate drop in elevation between Point X and Point Y?

Provided are satellite photos from two different years of the same beach.  The sand formation, indicated by an arrow, has shifted due to wave action.

If similar rates of erosion and deposition occur, where would the sand location be located by 2015?

• Between W and X

• Centered on Y

• Between Y and Z

• Centered on Z

Which of the following best describes how mountains change over time?
