Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Test

What is the process of breaking down rocks, minerals, and soil into smaller pieces?

• Erosion

• Deposition

• Weathering

• Glaciation

Which of the following is an example of chemical weathering?

• Water freezing and expanding in a rock crack.

• Tree roots growing into and cracking a sidewalk.

• Acid rain dissolving limestone.

• Wind blowing sand against a rock, smoothing it out.

The process by which weathered rock and soil are moved from one place to another is called:

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Sedimentary

When a river slows down as it enters a large body of water, it drops its sediment, forming a new landform. This process is known as:

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Deposition

• Abrasion
