According to the chart, which soil RETAINS the most water?
potting soil
sandy soil
gravel
clay
A group wants soil that is good for growing plants. Which soil should they choose?
sandy soil
clay soil
loamy soil
gravel
What claim can a student make from this lab set up?
Clay soil particles are large so they retain water better than silt.
Particles of sand allow water to flow through better than clay or silt.
Particles of silt are larger than clay so it retains water best.
Clay particles clump together because they are so large.
Which process happened more quickly because water was released from the dam?
deposition
erosion
precipitation
weathering by wind
Extreme weather changes can cause a rock to break into slabs. This happens when the rock is heated by the sun and expands. When the temperature falls, the rock cools and contracts. This cycle of heating and cooling (expansion and contraction) is an example of -
deposition
erosion
precipitation
weathering
During what stage would you expect to see the most EROSION?
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Which of these is an example of a constructive force at work?
Rivers carry sediments and build deltas.
Earthquakes move land and rocks.
Wind weathers rock into sand.
Glaciers carve the land as it moves.
Which is formed through wind erosion and deposition?
A sand dunes
B coast line
C sea arch
D sea cave
How does this valley most likely form?
erosion by glacier
deposition by wind
weathering by wind
erosion by water
How is the delta forming at this site?
The ocean eroded the land causing it to build up.
Wind blew sediment into area and built up.
Sediment carried by the river was deposited there.
The land was formed there when Earth was first formed.
How are stalagmites formed?
Wind deposits rocks and dust into the cave.
Water drips slowly and deposits minerals as it evaporates.
Moving water erodes shapes into the cave.
Ice forms overnight and cracks the rock overnight into shapes.
What evidence suggests that a glacial feature created this landscape?
u-shaped valley
landslide near river
sediment near river
stream flowing into river
Which landform was created by wind?
sea cave in a bay
glacier in a mountain
delta at mouth of river
sand dune on beach
Which statement about caves is true?
Caves formed by deposition only.
Caves are the only landforms created by weathering and erosion.
Weathering, erosion, and deposition are all part of creating caves.
Weathering of mountains creates stalagmites and stalactites.
What processes belong in the box?
weathering and eroding
compaction and cemetation
eroding and compacting
dissolving and cementing
Which rock sample shows sedimentary rocks?
Sample A
Sample B
Sample C
Sample D
Which tells best how these layers became rock over many years?
Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rocks.
Weight of the water compacts the sediment.
Changing water temperatures changes sand into rock.
Pollution by humans turns sediments into rocks.
How does sediments turn into sedimentary rocks?
heat and weathering
compaction and cementation
rapid heating and cooling
volcano eruption and erosion
How do fossil fuels form?
Dead organisms are buried beneath sediment and exposed to heat and pressure over millions of years.
Dinosaurs are buried in hot tar, adding their bodies to the mass of fossil fuel.
Plants die in swamps and their bodies change into fossil fuels.
Ocean water turns dead plants and animals into fossil fuels.
Why are fossil fuels non-renewable?
take millions of years to form
heat and pressure from sediments buries dead organisms
buried organisms releases energy stored from the Sun
found trapped in sedimentary rocks
Which is NOT a way coal and oil are similar?
both formed millions of years ago
both formed from dead organisms
both formed in a land ecosystem
both formed deep underground
Fossil fuels form over a long time because heat and pressure were applied to ____.
bacteria on top of the mud
organisms buried in the ground
weathered rocks near a volcano
oil under the ground
Which correctly describes a natural resource?
Trees are nonrenewable because they can be replaced in a short time.
Coal is renewable because it is found underground.
Petroleum is nonrenewable because it takes millions of years to form.
Air is renewable because once it is gone, it is gone forever.
