The satellite photograph shows an area in Alaska after a fire occurred. Which statement best describes the most likely effect the fire had on the river in the 12 months after it occurred?

More sediment flowed into the river because the fire destroyed most of the vegetation holding the sediment in place

Less sediment flowed into the river because the fire heated up the soil and made it drier

The amount of vegetation increased and less sediment flowed into the river because the fire produced ash that mixed with the soil

More sediment flowed into the river because the fire disrupted animal habitats and caused animals to leave the area

The satellite image below shows a ship channel between South Padre Island and Boca Chica beach in South Texas. Sand is sometimes removed from the ship channel through a process called dredging to make it easier for ships to travel through. Recently sand from the bottom of the channel was moved to area beaches. Without this transfer of sand, what would most likely occur in this area in the future?

The ship channel would become shallower, and the beach would become narrower

The ship channel would become deeper, and the island would move west toward the mainland

The ship channel would become narrower, and the island would become completely covered with whater

The ship channel would become wider, and the island would sink into the Gulf of Mexico

The satellite photograph shows a large meteorite crater that is 1200 m in diameter and 170 m deep. This crater is located in a flat, arid part of northeastern Arizona How will this crater most likely change over time?

It will become less deep as the rain erodes.

It will get deeper as it fills with water

It will rise up like a volcanic crater

It will widen as it fills with lava
