What type of process most likely created the mountain chain seen here?
Volcanic eruptions created the mountains over millions of years.
Tectonic plates pushed together forcing one plate under the other and then pushing the land upward.
Earthquakes broke the earth into pieces and parts of it fell into cracks between faults.
A river flowed through the land and created the valleys between the mountains making them appear taller.
The picture here shows a landslide. What can you infer from the picture?
Landslides are a destructive process that break apart the surface of the earth.
Landslides are a constructive process that build new mountains and dams on the surface of the earth.
Landslides are caused by volcanic eruptions,
Landslides are helpful to road crews.
How can plants cause the weathering of rocks?
roots can grow into or near rocks causing the rocks to break down over a period of time.
plants can chemically break down rocks using photosynthesis
plant roots can use the rocks as a source of nutrients and break them down over time
plants can release water vapor into the air that causes the rocks to break down over time.
What is the name of a place where tectonic plates meet and show movement?
Glacier
The core
Fault
Deposition
This picture shows a mountain that experience a landslide. What observation can be made?
A landslide is a destructive process because it causes part of Earth's surface is broken down into smaller pieces of rock and soil.
A landslide is a destructive process because it causes pieces of rock and soil to completely disappear from Earth's surface.
A landslide is a constructive process because it adds new features to Earth's surface made from rock and soil.
A landslide is a constructive process because it creates mountains of rock and soil on Earth's surface.
A student views a picture of the Appalachian Mountains. The student claims the mountains were formed by a constructive process. Which statement best evaluates the student's claim?
The student's claim is correct because Earth's plates collided, forcing one part under another and then pushing upward.
The student's claim is incorrect because flowing rivers and streams carved into the soil, depositing tall layers of rock.
The student's claim is correct because wind deposited rock and soil into valleys, causing them to build up over time.
The student's claim is incorrect because volcanoes erupted for long periods of time, creating rock from the cooling magma.
Which of these landforms was most likely created through weathering caused mostly by wind?
Beaches along Florida's coast often change shape when a hurricane or other strong storm hits. What causes this change in shape?
The rain from the storm erodes the sand away from the shoreline.
The waves from the storm wear away the rock underneath the sand.
The wind and waves from the storm move the sand from one place to another.
The tornadoes from the storm pick up the sand and drop it out in the ocean.
What is the main difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering can involve wind, rain, hail, or snow, while erosion involves only rain.
Weathering is completely natural, while erosion is man-made.
Weathering only affects rocks, while erosion only affects soil.
Weathering breaks down materials, while erosion moves them.
