What are the primary purposes for the use of dams?
To prevent droughts and reverse the flow of a river.
To keep unwanted marine organisms from moving down stream.
To control floodwaters and store water for people to use.
To make lakes so that people have a place to go fish.
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 does it mean to reclaim a beach?
Replace the sand on the beach.
Move the sand from one beach to another
Building a wall on the beach to keep wind and water away
Leave all of the seashells and other items on the beach instead of picking them up.
What is the name of a place where tectonic plates meet and show movement?
Glacier
The core
Fault
Deposition
The movement of rock or sediments by wind or water is called _________.
Condensation
Evaporation
Erosion
Friction
Which best describes what this landform is and how it was created?
A fault was formed as the river eroded the beach.
An island was formed as the river eroded the beach.
A delta was formed as the river deposited sediment from upstream.
A group of scientist went to visit the coast and returned a year later and noted the beach was smaller. What happened?
The ocean water caused erosion.
The ocean water caused deposition.
Fault movement caused erosion.
Fault movement caused deposition.
Why would a scientist recommend dredging for an area of the coastline that is getting smaller?
To rebuild beaches lost to water erosion.
To act as a barrier to reduce wind erosion.
