Which force most likely created this mountain?
tension
compression
gravity
shearing
________ is created by deposition from rivers?
rills
meanders
alluvial fans
gullies
______ is one feature of karst topography

How do erosion and deposition work together to create a moraine?
Waves cause erosion along coastlines and deposit sand away from the shore.
Erosion occurs as surface water carries sediment and the sediment is deposited near oceans and lakes.
Glaciers cause erosion as they melt, carrying sediment that gets deposited in a thick layer.
Winds cause erosion by blowing around sand that gets deposited in large piles.
How do erosion and deposition work together to form sand dunes?
Waves cause erosion along coastlines and deposit sand away from the shore.
Surface water in rivers causes erosion, carrying sediment that gets deposited near an ocean.
Glaciers cause erosion through the movement of large chunks of ice, which are deposited and form depressions.
Erosion occurs through deflation, and sand that was picked up is deposited against an obstruction.
A characteristic of deposition is ______?
Several factors affect how sediment settles.
Sediment is removed from a new surface location.
Moving water affects where sediment travels.
Rocks are broken into smaller particles.
__________ help reduce the amount of runoff that occurs in an area?
hard soil
steep slopes
paved surfaces
increased vegetation
Lists the three processes that are affected by freeze and thaw cycles.
creep, landslide, and deposition
deposition, creep, and weathering
landslide, slump, and deposition
slump, weathering, and creep
A rocky hill cracks after water settles and freezes. Several trees on the hill tilt due to the very slow downhill movement of rock and soil.
The movement occurs over a long distance.
Which type of mass movement does this describe?
creep
landslide
mudflow
slump
Which word refers to the shape of the land in an area?
elevation
landform
relief
topography
Which word describes the difference between the highest and lowest points in an area?
elevation
landform
relief
topography
A biker crosses topography near the sea that has low elevation and low relief and then rides up steeply to reach a peak.
Which two landforms has the biker experienced?
hills and plateau
plateau and mountain
mountain and coastal plains
interior plains and hills
_______ is part of a mountain system?
plains
plateaus
mountain belts
individual peaks
What is the correct order of mountains from the largest grouping to the smallest grouping?
belt, system, range, peak
peak, system, range, belt
range, peak, system, belt
peak, range, system, belt
The landform in the image highlighted in brown has high elevation and high relief.
Which landform is highlighted in the image?
hills
mountains
plains
plateau
The image shows a high-elevation, low-relief landform with a river flowing over it.
Which type of landform is shown?
hills
mountains
plains
plateau
_______ is formed due to the force of compression?
anticline
normal fault
strike-slip fault
fault-block mountain
_____ and _____ contributes to erosion.
sunlight and glacier
shorelines and land
clouds
ice and glaciers
What is the benefit of loess?
It grows healthy crops.
It prevents wind erosion.
It protects land from waves.
It decreases the slope of riverbanks.
How are plateaus formed?
A plateau forms when a flat block of rock is uplifted.
A plateau forms due to shearing.
Which force created a fault-block mountain?
compression
tension
shearing
subduction
The image shows what type of landform?
plateau
mountain
plain
hill
Which particle would have the slowest rate of deposition?
particle with sharp ends
particle with a high density
______ are formed as a result of erosion related to runoff.
Deltas
Gullies
Flood Plains
