What is a limitation of a scientific model?
A model cannot be used to study an object that is to big
A model cannot be used to study an object
A model cannot show every detail of an object
A model cannot be used to explain how an object works
What is a systematic observation?
An observation that takes just a couple of minutes.
An observations that happens over time.
An observation that does not include using the 5 senses.
An observation that is not used in Science.
Which type of graph is best to use that shows a change in distance over time?
no graph is needed
What is mechanical weathering?
The movement of rocks or soil
Weathering caused by the physical breakdown of rocks or soil
The breakdown of rocks and soil by chemicals
The depositing of rocks and soil.
What is chemical weathering?
The breakdown of rocks and soil that changes the chemical composition
The breakdown of rocks and soil by physical means
The movement of rocks and soil
The depositing of rocks and soil
What is deposition?
The breakdown of rocks and soil by physical means
The breakdown of rocks and soil by chemical means
The depositing of rocks and soil in a different place.
The movement of rocks and soil
What is erosion?
The building up of rocks and soil in a different location.
The breakdown of rocks and soil by physical means.
The breakdown of rocks and soil by chemical means.
The movement of rocks and soil.
What is a scientific model?
A physical representation of a science concept
A good looking man or woman
A brief explanation of a science concept.
A description of events that occur during an investigation
What type of changes does erosion cause?
Physical changes
Chemical changes
Electrical changes
Magnetic changes
Erosion occurs when natural forces alter the landscape. What does it mean to alter a landscape?
To blow dust around
To change what land looks like
To deposit silt at the mouth of a river
To create a floodplain
Which term BEST describes the rate at which glacial erosion takes place?
Quick
Short
Slow
Sudden
How do sandy beaches form?
Waves pounding pebbles int smaller and smaller pieces
Wind eroding pebbles into smaller pieces
Water freezing and thawing the cracks of pebbles
Rain wearing away rocks into smaller and smaller pieces
Which of the following features would be most affected by weathering?
A
B
C
D
How would a sandblasted rock differ from a rock that hasn't been sandblasted?
A sandblasted rock would be bigger
A sandblasted rock would be smoother in shape and less jagged
A sandblasted rock would be composed of volcanic material
A sandblasted rock would be covered by water
Why is it hard to see glacial erosion in action?
Because glaciers are so big
Because light from glaciers refracts too much
Because glaciers move very, very slowly
Because glacial erosion is usually very subtle
What do floodplains, sandbars, and river deltas have in common?
They've all been formed by water erosion
They've all been formed by glacial erosion
They've all been formed by wind erosion
They've all been formed by sandblasting
Based on the information presented in the video, what would be a simple way to prevent erosion?
Blocking the wind
Planting trees
Preventing rainfall
Preventing the flow of rivers
Based on the information presented in the video, what can you infer about the type of erosion that formed the Grand Canyon?
WInd erosion
Water erosion
Sandblasting
Glacial erosion
Choose TWO descriptions below that represent Erosion.
Rain washing away dirt from a hillside
Water getting in cracks of rocks, freezing, and breaking them
Wind hitting the top of a mountain for thousands of years creating arches.
Waves moving sand from one place to another
Which agent of erosion can only deposit small materials such as sand?
ice
wind
water
gravity
Weathering is the process of -
Moving sediment from one place to another
Dropping or leaving sediment in a location
Breaking down rocks into sediment
An example of chemical weathering is -
Ice wedging
Oxidation
Animals burrowing
Crashing waves
Ice wedging is an example of -
Physical weathering
Chemical weathering
Both physical AND chemical weathering
Over millions of years, weak carbonic acid can dissolve limestone to form -
Cracks in rocks
Caves and caverns
Mountains and cliffs
Ice wedging is most likely to occur during which months of the year ?
December - February
March - May
June - August
September - November
Which is the correct definition of an aquifer?
An underground river.
A small body of water surrounded by land.
A large body of water surrounded by land.
A large piece of ice floating in the water.
Which of these pictures is of a delta?
Which is the correct definition of a lake?
A small body of water surrounded by land.
A large piece of ice moving in the water.
A large body of water surrounded by land.
Where the land meets the ocean.
What landform is created by wind and helps keep the coastline from eroding away?
Glaciers
Sand dunes
Lakes
Deltas
When using a stream table to study weathering and erosion, what would a student look for?
How many streams there are
How much water is used
The amount of sediment present
How many rocks are present
If a student is performing an experiment and get different results than the rest of the class, what should they do?
Give up
Try the same experiment with different procedures
Try a different experiment
Do the same experiment over again until the results match the rest of the class
What is the purpose of a barrier island?
to protect the coastline from eroding
To allow all sides to be affected by the ocean
to allow sand dunes to be formed
barrier islands serve no purpose
