Question 8

Where does sand come from?

Accepted Answer

The sand was once part of larger rocks and shells.

Answer

The sand is made of the salt from the ocean.

Answer

The sand was carried by animals to the ocean.

Answer

The sand was always on the beach.

Question 9

Which statement best explains where sand on beaches comes from?

Accepted Answer

Over a long period of time, rocks and shells were weathered by water, eroded by a river, and deposited on the beach.

Answer

Sand did not need to be broken down because it was always on the beach.

Answer

Animals carried the sand to the beach and deposited it to make their homes.

Answer

Water from the ocean evaporated and left salt behind on the beach to make sand.

Question 10

What process forms the stalactites and stalagmites in caves?

Accepted Answer

Water seeps through the cracks in the ground forming the stalactites and stalagmites.

Answer

Wind blows sediments into the cave forming hills of sand.

Answer

Ice melts away from underground leaving behind the cave.

Answer

Animals dig tunnels which forms the stalactites and stalagmites.

Question 11

Which statement best describes the formation of stalagmites and stalactites?

Accepted Answer

Water dissolves and erodes minerals from the walls of the cracks in the ground and they are deposited on the ceiling and ground forming the stalactites and stalagmites in the cave.

Answer

Ice melts cracking the interior of the cave leaving behind stalactites and stalagmites in the cave.

Question 12

The formation of sedimentary rock requires compaction and cementation. Which of the following statements best describes these processes? Select two correct answers.

Accepted Answer

Compaction happens when layers of rock press together.

Accepted Answer

Cementation happens when new minerals stick the grains of sediment together.

Answer

Compaction happens when rocks are weathered and eroded.

Answer

Cementation happens when water covers layers of rock.

Answer

Compaction and cementation need extreme heat from the Earth to happen.

Accepted Answer

Weathered rock particles form layers.

Accepted Answer

The layers are cemented over time to form rock.

Answer

Dissolved minerals are left behind by dripping water.

Answer

Molten rock is cooled and solidifies.

Accepted Answer

Heat and pressure to change the dead plants into coal

Answer

Evaporation and condensation from the water cycle

Answer

Weathering of rock to break it apart

Answer

Compaction and cementation to make sedimentary rock

Question 17

The production of coal requires many steps. Which of the following is the correct sequence?

Accepted Answer
