a)

Deposition

b)

Erosion

a)

Deposition

b)

Erosion

c)

Precipitation

d)

Weathering

8.

During which stage of the water cycle would you expect to see the most erosion?

a)

Stage 1

b)

Stage 2

c)

Stage 3

d)

Stage 4

9.

Some processes that change landforms are constructive and some are destructive. Which of the following is an example of a constructive process shaping a landform?

Rivers carry sediment and build deltas.

b)

Earthquakes move land and rocks.

c)

Wind weathers rock into sand.

d)

Glaciers carve the land as they move.

10.

What is the most likely explanation for the formation of the valley pictured below?

a)

Erosion by a glacier

b)

Deposition by wind

c)

Weathering by wind

d)

Erosion by water

11.

Explain how the stalagmites in a cave are formed.

a)

Wind deposits dust and rocks into caves which build up over time.

b)

Water drips slowly to the cave floor and deposits minerals as it evaporates.

c)

Moving water erodes shapes as it washes through the cave.

d)

Ice forms overnight and cracks the rocks into shapes before it melts away.

b)

Dinosaurs are buried in hot tar, adding their bodies to the mass of fossil fuel.

c)

Plants die in swamps and their bodies change into fossil fuels.

d)

Ocean water turns dead plants and animals into fossil fuels.
