What would you expect to increase after a forest fire?
an increase in weathering due to the increase in plant's roots holding dirt in place
an increase in erosion due to the lack of plant's roots holding dirt in place
an increase in deposition due to the increase in rainfall
an increase in erosion due to global warming
What is the contour interval for this map?
(a)
Which of the following is considered an erosional feature?
mountain
delta
river
canyon
What is the elevation of Point B?
(a)
What is the highest possible elevation of this peak?
(a)
How would expect this feature to change over time?
The crater will continue to deepen as water erodes the rim.
The crater will fill as wind deposits sediments inside the crater.
The crater will continue to deepen as wind weathers the rocks inside the crater.
The crater will fill as water weathers the sediments outside the crater.

The arrow is pointed to a channel between two barrier islands. If a hurricane hit this area, how might the channel change?
The channel would become deeper as the waves move sand into the channel.
The channel would become shallower as the waves move sand into the channel.
The channel would not change because hurricane force winds and waves have no effect on coastal areas.
What caused the elevation to increase from Point A' to Point B' after Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980?
weathering of the rocks due to the erosion
erosion due to winds moving over the volcano
deposition of rocks and ash after the eruption
none of the above

two craters
a mountain with two peaks
a steep cliff over looking a river valley
Which path to the peak of Mt. McKinley is the least steep?
Path A
Path B
Path C
Path D
How would you expect Mt. McKinley to change over time?
The peak will increase in elevation due to weathering and erosion.
The peak will decrease due to deposition.
The peak will decrease in elevation due to weathering and erosion.
The peak will not change over time.
What is the distance from Point A to Point B?
(a)

Where would you expect to find more erosion due to waves?
Area A
Area B
neither, waves don't cause erosion
