WG.4B Describe DIFFERENT LANDFORMS AND THE PHYS PROC

Which landform is primarily created by tectonic plate movements pushing the Earth's crust upwards?

• Delta

• Mountain

• Sand dune

• Atoll

What is the main physical process responsible for the formation of canyons?

• Wind erosion

• Water erosion

• Volcanic activity

• Glacial movement

Which landform is formed by the accumulation of sediment at the mouth of a river?

• Fjord

• Delta

• Rift

• Island

What process leads to the creation of sand dunes?

• Water erosion

• Wind erosion

• Tectonic uplift

• Lava flow

Which landform is created by glacial erosion carving deep valleys into coastal areas?

• Fjord

• Atoll

• Plain

• Volcano

What is the primary cause of volcanic islands forming in the ocean?

• Coral growth

• Tectonic plate movement

• Wind erosion

• Sediment deposition

Which process is most responsible for the formation of rifts?

• Plates moving apart

• Wind erosion

• Coral reef growth

• Glacial movement

How does the process of erosion contribute to the formation of plains?

• By depositing sediment from water, ice, or wind

• By volcanic eruptions

• By coral reef growth

• By tectonic uplift

Explain how tectonic forces can lead to the development of mountains.

• By pushing sections of the Earth's crust upwards

• By eroding rock with water

• By depositing sand from wind

• By coral reef growth

Describe the process by which atolls are formed.

• Coral reefs grow around a sinking volcanic island

• Wind deposits sand in a circular pattern

• Glaciers carve out circular valleys

• Lava flows create ring-shaped landforms
