What can you infer caused the landform?

C) Volcano adding new layers of sediment

The picture below shows a natural shoreline feature called a sea cave. Which is the most likely way this sea cave formed?

A) Polluted water dissolved the rock.

B) Ocean animals made holes in the rock.

C) Volcanic lava melted the rock.

Students used a fan to blow piles of sand. This best models which of the following natural processes that create changes to the land?

C) Formation and movement of dunes

A) Weathering of rocks to make soil

B) Deposition of sediments to form deltas

D) Carving out plains creating canyons

What feature is the same in the formation of sedimentary rocks and the formation of fossil fuels? Both sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels -

require material to be buried and exposed to heat and pressure

are made out of organic material that stores the sun’s energy

form where there are frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity

are produced high in the mountains where temperatures are low

Which statement correctly describes how a landform is formed?

A delta is formed at the mouth of a river when flowing water slows and deposits sediment.

A lake is formed when flowing water carves out the sides of a canyon.

A mountain range is formed when glaciers slowly move across the landscape.

A u-shaped valley is formed when winds pick up and move sediment away from the landscape.

An ancient fossil of a fish was found in a dry area. What does this suggest about how this used to look?

There was once water in the area.

The fossil was moved because there could not have been water there in the past.

How do nonrenewable and renewable resources differ?

Renewable resources are replaced as they are used. Nonrenewable resources cannot be easily replaced once they have been used.

Renewable resources cannot be conserved, and nonrenewable resources can.

Nonrenewable resources will never run out, and renewable resources will.

Nonrenewable resources cannot be easily replaced once they have been used, and nonrenewable resources are replaced as they are used.

A deposit of sediment is discovered at the mouth of a river. The sediment originally came from the mountains. Which sequence best describes how the sediment traveled from the mountains to the mouth of the river?

weathering, erosion, deposition

erosion, weathering, deposition

weathering, deposition, erosion

deposition, erosion, weathering

Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels originated from —

buried, dead organisms changed by heat and pressure

heat preserved within the Earth's core

decayed rocks from within the Earth's crust

plants that survived the Earth's changes

The glaciers had the most effect on which landform?

The formation of mountain valleys

The amount of silt in the oceans

The amount of snow in the plains

The glacier would not affect any land forms.

Which of the following describes deposition?

A) A process by which wind or water drops sediment in a new location

B) The wearing away and breaking down of rocks caused by wind, water, and ice

C) The process in which the weight of sediment squeezes particles together and pushes out the water

D) The downward movement of water through soil and rocks as a result of gravity

Students compared the fossils shown in layer A with those in layer C. What conclusion can be made by comparing the fossils in these two layers?

Fossils in layer A are older than those in layer C.

Fossils in layer A are younger than those in layer C.

Fossils in layers A and C are the same age.

Fossils in layers A and C are younger than those in layer B.

What do the processes of the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels have in common?

Sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels are both formed over a long period of time and exposed to heat and pressure.

Sedimentary rocks are the only type of rock where fossils are found which produce energy.

Sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels are mixed with fossils to provide energy.

Fossil fuels and sedimentary rocks are burned to release energy.

What conclusion can be made based on the information given in the table above?

Wind, water, and ice are forces that change Earth's surface.

Landforms are the result of the temperature change of water on Earth's surface.

Physical changes to the Earth's surface take a long time.

The Earth's surface is no longer changing because of wind, water, and ice.

Which TWO processes of sedimentary rock formation are being modeled and how are they being modeled?

Compaction and cementation are being modeled by pressing layers together and binding them with minerals.

Erosion and weathering are being modeled by breaking down rocks and transporting them.

Deposition and lithification are being modeled by settling particles and hardening them into rock.

Metamorphism and melting are being modeled by heat and pressure changing rock form.

Describe how canyons and mesas are similar. Both were formed by ________ by ________ and ________.

Both canyons and mesas are similar in that they are both landforms shaped by erosion and weathering processes, typically involving water and wind.

Both canyons and mesas are similar in that they are both formed by volcanic activity and tectonic movements.

Both canyons and mesas are similar in that they are both created by glacial movements and ice melting.

Both canyons and mesas are similar in that they are both formed by sediment deposition and soil accumulation.

Which two processes best complete the diagram?

Weathering, erosion, and deposition.

Oil and natural gas result from when

tiny marine plant and animal remains decay on the ocean floor over millions of years ago.

the migration of complex carbohydrate molecules to nonporous rock formations.

the burning of high-sulfur, low grade uranium.
