If we were in a plane, Path B --> C is about the same distance as path E --> N. But, which path is the easier walk?

B --> C and E --> N are the same walking distance

A satellite image of an area in Florida shows a river with slight bends along its length. A second satellite image taken of the same area 10 years later shows the same river with a different course. What is the best explanation for the difference in the shape of the river's course between the two satellite images?

Water eroded the banks of the river and deposited the eroded soil on opposite banks, causing the river to form tighter bends

Wind blew waves across the water surface, eroding away the bank on one side of the river until the river's course changed its shape

Regular freezing and thawing of the river split the soil along the river banks, changing the shape of the river

Acid rain chemically weathered the banks along the river, forcing the river to wind back and forth

Which of the following best describes how mountains change over time?

The elevation of the peaks will decrease due to erosion.

The elevation of the peaks will increase due to weathering.

The elevation of the peaks will increase due to deposition.

Mountains stay the same, they never change.

What would be the most likely way this coastline would change over time?

The waves could erode the beach

A fire could destroy the vegetation

The beach would grow due to deposition

The beach will disappear due to plate tectonics
