Which landforms are not formed by plate interactions?

• Canyons

• Fold mountains

• Volcanic arcs

• Rift valleys

How does physical weathering differ from chemical weathering?

• Physical weathering changes the composition of rocks, while chemical weathering breaks rocks into small pieces.

• Physical weathering only occurs on the surface, while chemical weathering occurs beneath the surface.

• Physical weathering and chemical weathering are the same processes.

• Physical weathering breaks rocks into small pieces without changing the composition, while chemical weathering changes the rock's chemical make-up.

What is the role of water in chemical weathering?

• Water only causes erosion.

• Water dissolves minerals in rocks during chemical weathering.

• Water speeds up physical weathering.

• Water has no impact on weathering processes.

What is the term for the laying down or settling of eroded material?

• Deposition

• Weathering

• Dissolution

• Erosion

What is the large deposit of sediment that forms where a stream enters a large body of water called?

• Delta

• Meander

• Canyon

• Estuary

How do glaciers erode Earth's surface?

• By dissolving rocks with ice

• By carrying sediment in meltwater

• By carving the land as they move

• By depositing sediment on the surface
