In what ways are rocks eroded and sand deposited? SC.6.E.6.1

• Rocks are eroded by the wind as sand. Sand is deposited by abrasion.

• Rocks are eroded by abrasion. Sand is deposited by the wind as dunes.

• Rocks are eroded by tiny particles moving downward. Sand is deposited by erosion as dunes.

• Rocks are eroded by water and wind. Sand is deposited by more water and wind.

Officials in a coastal city want to reduce the erosion and protect the beach. The city decides to add a large pile of rocks off shore. How will these rocks will solve their problem? SC.6.E.6.1

• They will form a sea arch.

• They will form a sea stack.

• They will increase the impact of waves.

• They will decrease the impact of waves.

Dunes form in any place where there is a lot of sand and prevailing winds. Based on this evidence, which claim best describes most of Florida’s dunes? SC.6.E.6.1

• dunes formed by sediment from mountains

• dunes formed by sediment carried by rivers

• coastal dunes behind rocky cliffs

• coastal dunes behind sandy beaches

Sand Key is a barrier island located along the coast of Florida. Which process most likely caused Sand Key to form? SC.6.E.6.1

• sudden erosion of a sandbar

• deposition of sand over time

• wearing down of rocky cliffs

• transfer of sand along a beach

How is a delta created? SC.6.E.6.2

• Water and ice carry and push sediment until it reaches the ocean.

• Sediment is carried and destroyed by wind.

• Water vapor condenses and carries dust and other particles to the ocean.

• River water carries and causes a deposit of sediment.
