Two streams, A and B, carry the same volume of

water, but stream A has a greater velocity. Which would NOT cause A to have a greater stream velocity?

• A has far fewer obstructions than B.

• A has a wider channel than B.

• A flows down a steeper slope than B.

• A has far fewer meanders than B.

As water velocity of a stream increases from 25 to

225 centimeters per second, in which order will

particles of different sizes begin to move?

• cobbles, then pebbles, then sand, then silt

• silt, then pebbles, then sand, then cobbles

• sand, then pebbles, then cobbles, then boulders

• silt, then sand, then pebbles, then cobbles

For igneous rocks formed from magma, you would expect crystals to be

• large

• small

• non-existent

• N/A- You can't make igneous rocks from magma

The arrangement of atoms in a mineral will then define its

• size

• temperature of origin

• age of origin

• physical properties

• B) The rock was formed by the compaction and cementation of sediments deposited in a terrestrial environment.

• The rock was formed by the compaction and cementation of sediments deposited in a marine environment.

• D) The rock was formed from the solidification of magma in a marine environment.
