Grade 5 Geography Quiz: Changing in Landforms

What is the process by which rocks and soil are broken down by natural forces such as wind, water, and ice?

• Erosion

• Volcanic eruption

• Tectonic plate movement

• Weathering

How does weathering differ from erosion?

• Weathering breaks down rocks, while erosion moves the weathered materials.

• Weathering creates new rocks, while erosion breaks down existing rocks.

• Weathering only occurs in deserts, while erosion only occurs in mountains.

• Weathering and erosion are the same process.

How are mountains formed?

• Mountains are formed by the movement of clouds

• Tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, and erosion

• Mountains are formed by the growth of trees

• Mountains are formed by the melting of ice

What are the two main types of mountains?

• Erosion mountains and block mountains

• Crustal mountains and fault-block mountains

• Plateau mountains and dome mountains

• Volcanic mountains and folded mountains

What are the primary effects of earthquakes on landforms?

• Ground shaking, surface rupture, and ground displacement

• Tornadoes, hurricanes, and tsunamis

• Landslides, avalanches, and flooding

• Volcanic eruptions, erosion, and weathering

How do volcanic eruptions contribute to the formation of new landforms?

• By melting existing landforms

• By causing erosion and reducing landmass

• By creating underground caves and tunnels

• By depositing lava, ash, and other volcanic materials

What are the different types of glacial changes?

• Advance, retreat, and melting

• Flooding, drought, earthquake

• Freezing, boiling, condensing

• Erosion, deposition, weathering

How do glacial changes impact the landforms around them?

• Glacial changes lead to the formation of deserts

• Glacial changes impact the landforms by carving out valleys, creating moraines, and shaping mountains and lakes.

• Glacial changes have no impact on landforms

• Glacial changes cause the landforms to become smoother

What is the impact of volcanic eruptions on the surrounding landforms?

• Volcanic eruptions cause the landforms to become smoother

• Volcanic eruptions lead to the formation of deserts

• Volcanic eruptions contribute to the formation of new landforms by depositing lava, ash, and other volcanic materials

• Volcanic eruptions have no impact on landforms
