Over time, repeated cycles of heating and cooling can cause a rock to crack. The rock may then break into smaller pieces. What is this process called?
Erosion
Deposition
Weathering
Biology
In places where there is loose sediment and strong wind, the wind can pick up the sediment and carry it. When the wind slows, it deposits the sediment. Which type of sediment will be dropped first as the wind slows?
the lighest sediment
the medium weight sediment
the heaviest sediment
Which type of movement is caused by gravity moving wet Earth materials?
Mudflow
Mudslide
Landflow
V-Shaped Valleys
Landslides, rockfalls, and mudslides are responsible for both erosion and deposition. What force is mainly responsible for the erosion and deposition that happens in landslides, rockfalls, and mudslides?
Water
Ice
Wind
Gravity
What forms sand dunes?
Water
Ice
Wind
Gravity
What happens when a stream slows down?
stream deposits no sediments
stream deposits less sediments
stream deposits more sediments
stream deposits too much sediments

The growth of plant roots in rock and animal activity results from what type of weathering?
Physical Weathering
Chemical Weathering
Physical or Chemical?: Fungi and lichen produce a weak acid, slowly breaking down a rock.
