LESSON 4 Changing Earth's Surface Quiz

What is the process by which soil and rock are removed from one location on the Earth's surface and transported to another?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Erosion

• Freezing

How does water cause erosion?

• By reducing the speed of wind and water

• By carrying away soil and rock particles through the process of abrasion, dissolution, and transportation.

• By creating new land formations through deposition

• By causing the ground to become more compact and stable

What is the process of breaking down rocks, soil, and minerals through direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere?

• Volcanic eruption

• Photosynthesis

• Erosion

• Weathering

What are the two main types of weathering?

• Fast weathering and slow weathering

• Daytime weathering and nighttime weathering

• Mechanical weathering and chemical weathering

• Hot weathering and cold weathering

What is the process by which sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or landmass?

• Erosion

• Deposition

• Evaporation

• Weathering

How does deposition contribute to the formation of landforms?

• Deposition adds sediments to create landforms

• Deposition has no impact on the formation of landforms

• Deposition removes sediments from landforms

• Deposition causes erosion of landforms

What are some examples of land features created by erosion and deposition?

• Canyons, glaciers, and volcanoes

• Deserts, forests, and lakes

• River deltas, sand dunes, and beaches

• Mountains, valleys, and plateaus

What are the differences between extrusive and intrusive rocks?

• Age and composition

• Size and shape

• Formation process and location of cooling

• Color and texture
