A glacier moved slowly down the mountain into a valley. Then it melted. What would you expect to find in the valley where the glacier melted?
a mountain
rocks that were carried by the glacier
a break in the Earth's crust
big piles of snow and ice
Acid rainwater can cause rocks to break down. What type of process is this?
physical weathering
depostion
chemical weathering
erosion
Which effect of erosion happens the fastest?
Rocks pile up during a landslide
The shape of a shoreline changes
Glaciers move rocks
Water carves a canyon in rocks
Which is true of Earth's surface?
The rocks on Earth's surface move, but they do not change.
Earth's surface is constantly changing.
Change to Earth's surface always takes a long time.
All land forms on Earth's surface extend into the water.
What can cause physical weathering?
the surface
landforms
water
the crust
Which is an example of erosion?
when land forms cause physical weathering
when rainwater moves soil down a mountain
when Earth's plates move
when wind deposits weathered pieces of rock
How does deposition change Earth's surface?
by destroying parts of the Earth's surface
by making an area unfit for growing plants
by building up areas of the Earth's surface
by causing earthquakes
What causes a volcano to erupt?
Magma comes through the crust in a weak spot
violent weather rubs the crust bare and the magma escapes
Earthquakes heat up magma, which explodes
movement in the Earth's plates heats up magma so it explodes
