Howard's local beach has been hit by several strong storms over the last year. If Howard were to compare a photograph of the beach from last year with a photograph of the beach today, what would he most likely observe?

The storms eroded the sand on the beach, carrying it away and making the beach smaller.

The storms compacted the sand on the beach, cementing it into sedimentary rock.

The storms created large waves that flooded the beach creating sand dunes.

The storms weathered boulders on the beach, breaking them down and making the beach larger.

Which list correctly identifies the agents of erosion?

gravity, glaciers, water and wind

water, wind, carbonic acid and gravity

water, gravity, wind and ice wedging

Glaciers, abrasion, gravity, humans and oxygen

Deforestation is the removal of trees in a forest to make space for homes and farmland and to obtain wood for fuel, manufacturing and construction. How does this human activity change the surface of Earth?

The removal of tress and vegetation leads to an increase in soil erosion by wind or water.

The removal of tress and vegetation leads to a decrease in soil erosion by wind or water.

The removal of tress will lead to more oxygen production in the atmosphere.

The removal of trees and vegetation will lead to an increase in soil erosion by acids and ice wedging.

Students were making a model to demonstrate the effects of runoff. Which of the following should they include in the model to show the least amount of runoff and to decrease erosion?

increase the amount of vegetation because it will decrease the amount of runoff

build a shopping center because it will decrease the amount of runoff

build a shopping center because it will increase the amount of runoff

decrease the amount of vegetation because it will increase the amount of runoff

Which of the following questions can be asked to identify a river delta?

Is the area created when fast flowing water from a river slows as it meets an ocean?

Is the area created by the erosion of water in a lake?

Is the area created by the erosion and deposition of waves and tides?

Is the area created by the impact and abrasion of ocean waves as they crash into a sea side cliff?
