Total questions: 8
Worksheet time: 4mins
The image shows an eroded plateau found in the southwestern United States. The landscape was developed by the processes of--
crustal uplift and stream erosion.
crustal folding and stream erosion.
crustal uplift and glacial erosion.
crustal folding and glacial erosion
Which of the following Virginia provinces has the most karst topography?
Coastal Plain
Blue ridge
Piedmont
Valley and Ridge
The map below shows the area surrounding a meandering stream. At which point is erosion greatest?
Point A
Point B
Point C
Point D
The cross section below shows sedimentary rocks being eroded by water at a waterfall. The rock layers are being weathered and eroded at different rates because the layers--
formed during different time periods
contain different fossils
have different compositions
are horizontal
The diagram shows a glacial landscape. Which evidence suggests that ice created this landscape?
U-shaped valleys
many stream valleys
sorted sediment on the valley floor
the landslide near the valley floor
This diagram shows ice wedging. Which statement best describes the physical weathering shown by the diagram?
Enlargement of the cracks occurs because water expands when it freezes.
This type of weathering occurs only in bedrock composed of granite.
The cracks become wider because of chemical reactions between water and the rock.
This type of weathering is common in regions of primarily warm and humid climates.
Which stream-drainage pattern most likely developed on the surface of a newly formed volcanic mountain?
This huge hole is in Florida. It occurred when the surface suddenly collapsed because the land beneath it was being secretly eroded by groundwater. What do we call this?
crater
sinkhole
karsthole
pothole
