The farm shown above is unable to grow crops because of a slow change to Earth's surface. Identify what most likely caused this change.
weathering from water
deposition from ice
erosion from water
erosion from ice
Identify the sentence that tells how weathering from ice causes slow changes to Earth's surface.
A glacier rubs against rocks as it moves.
A glacier carries away rocks as it moves.
A glacier melts, leaving behind rocks.
A glacier deposits rocks as it moves.
The movement of water may have the effect of leaving a solid material behind. Identify which of the following is an example of the slow change to Earth's surface caused by deposition from water.
the smoothing of rocks
sand in a river delta
space in a sinkhole
a sand dune
Deposition from wind is one cause of slow changes to Earth's surface. Observe the pictures below. Which pictures shows the effects of deposition from wind?
Identify two of Earth's nonrenewable resources.
oil and natural gas
wind and plants
oil and animals
coal and water
Which of the following pictures shows the importance of the conservation of natural resources?
What caused the rocks to block the stream?
deposition from wind
deposition from water
erosion from water
erosion from wind
Why should students choose loamy soil for their garden?
because it is mostly sand, and water passes through it quickly, allowing space for plant roots
because it is made up of a great deal of very fine clay sediment and has very little air space
because it is a mix of sand, silt, and clay and has a rich supply of humus
because it is young soil and contains many of the nutrients plants need
As a glacier moves down the mountain, it carries with it rocks and other matter. What is this slow change to Earth's surface called?
deposition from water
deposition from ice
erosion from water
erosion from ice
Which correctly identifies the main layers of soil in order from closest to Earth's surface to deepest?
topsoil, subsoil, loam
humus, topsoil, subsoil
subsoil, bedrock, topsoil
topsoil, subsoil, bedrock

weathering from wind
weathering from rain
deposition from water
erosion from water
