Mcgraw Hill Earth and Space Science Chapter 9

Which statement represents the diagram?

• Weathered materials are moved by running water such as river and lake

• Rock decomposes due to exposure to temperature, rainwater, and microorganisms

• Eroded material on Earth's surface by water, wind and waves

• Involve soil movement from the top of a slope to below causing phenomenon like landslide

Waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean surface due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor or large volcanic eruptions. This phenomena is called

• Volcanism

• Tsunami

• Earhquake
