Exploring Earth's Changes

What does Earth look like from space?

• Mostly the same but changes upon closer inspection

• The same at all times

• Different every day

• Always changing

What are the two types of weathering?

• Biological and physical

• Oceanic and continental

• Mechanical and chemical

• Erosion and deposition

What causes mechanical weathering?

• Carbon dioxide and oxygen

• Water and air

• Plants and animals

• Heat from the Sun and running water

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

• They are the same process

• Erosion happens before weathering

• Weathering breaks rocks, erosion moves them

• Erosion breaks rocks, weathering moves them

What major factor causes erosion in the Atlantic Ocean?

• The heat from the Sun

• Chemical weathering

• The energy of ocean waves

• The movement of the Earth's crust

How did Cape Cod's coastline change from 1984 to 2014?

• It became one large island

• No change occurred

• A strip of land turned into separate islands

• The islands merged into the mainland

What role does water play in shaping Earth's landforms?

• It has no significant impact

• It primarily causes chemical weathering

• It shapes and sometimes moves the geosphere

• It only affects the atmosphere

What did the geosphere say to the hydrosphere?

• You crack me up

• Let's rock and roll

• You're too salty

• You move me
