Unit 15 Lesson 6: Geological Surface Processes Quiz

What is the main focus of this Unit?

• To understand the water cycle

• The various geologic processes that impact the Earth's surface

• To learn about the life

• To study the solar system

Which of the following is NOT a process mentioned in the lesson?

• Volcanism

• Plate tectonics

• Erosion

• Photosynthesis

What causes the Earth's surface to change?

• Geologic processes

• The moon

• The sun

• Stars

Which process involves the movement of large amounts of earth material down a slope?

• Flooding

• Volcanism

• Earthquakes

• Mass wasting

What is the term for the process where the Earth's surface is worn away by natural forces?

• Glaciation

• Faulting

• Folding

• Erosion

What are internal geological processes?

• Processes that happen in the atomosphere

• Processes that affect the Earth's surface

• Processes that take place inside the Earth

• Processes that occur in the ocean

Which of the following is an example of an internal (happens INSIDE Earth) process?

• Erosion

• Glaciers

• Flooding

• Earthquake

What are external geological processes?

• Processes that occur in the ocean

• Processes that occur in space

• Processes that affect the Earth's surface

• Processes that occur in the Earth's core

Which of the following is an example of an external (happens on Earth's SURFACE) geological process?

• Earthquakes

• Volcanoes

• Flooding

• Plate Tectonics

Why are volcanoes considered both internal and external processes?

• Because they occur in space

• Because they start inside the Earth and affect the surface

• Because they're caused by weather patterns

• Because they only occur in the ocean
