Effects of the Geosphere

which soil is rich in humus and can hold water so minerals are not washed deep into the ground

• Forest soil

• Desert soil

• Grassland and prairie soil

the crack found between the rocks is called:

• tension

• plate

• fault

• soil

the Mantle is mostly made up of:

• rocks

• lava

• magma

• crust

what type of mountains is found in the attached picture

• folded mountain

• Himalaya mountain

• fault block mountain

• sandy mountain

the layers of earth that form the tectonic plates are:

• upper mantle+lower mantle

• lower mantle+lava

• upper mantle+core

• upper mantle + crust

the force found between the plates is called:

• tension

• friction

• gravity

• hot sppot

A sudden movement of a large amount of rocks and soil down a slope is called a

• volcano

• landslide

• folded mountain

• fault block mountain

the following picture shows the formation of

• mountain

• landslide

• mudslide

• volcano

solid non living substance found in nature:

• plates

• decomposers

• minerals

• clay

medium textured soil holds very little water while sandy soil soaks up water and holds air very well

• true

• false
