A canyon may be more than 300 km long and in some places almost 2 km deep.
Which model best represents the main process that formed the canyon?
A river weathering a plateau and eroding away the sediments.
The erosion and deposition of sediments .
The weathering away of rocks.
The deposition of eroded sediments at the mouth of a river.
The diagram shows layers deposited under a body of water. This layering continued
for millions of years. What most likely happened to the dead plants and animals?
The water washed them away.
They were eaten by decomposers and scavengers.
They became fossil fuels.
They became sedimentary rocks.
White Sands State Park in New Mexico has many acres of sand dunes. The dunes are are very white like snow. The dunes in the park are most likely formed by -
rainstorms
strong winds
tornadoes
earthquakes
Marty pours three different liquids into a beaker. He notices the layers separate into
different layers in the beaker.
Based on the picture, which property of the liquids is Marty MOST likely studying?
mass
density
volume
states of matter
Aubrey is reviewing physical properties of matter. Which of these substances is both
magnetic and conducts heat?
toothpicks
plastic spoon
iron nail
newspaper
The photograph shows plants growing at the bottom of the ocean.
How do plants like these form fossil fuels?
The dead plants produce carbon that is consumed by fish, which forms fossils.
The dead plants stay at the bottom of the ocean and are consumed by decomposers.
The dead plants get buried for millions of years and form fossil fuels that attract carbon.
The dead plants stay at the bottom of the ocean and get buried by sediment for millions of years.
Which statement describes why erosion is different from weathering.
Weathering is when rocks are broken into smaller rocks that remain in the same location and erosion is when sediment grains fall to the bottom of a lake to form sedimentary layers.
Weathering is when grains fall to the bottom of a lake to form sedimentary layers and erosion is when pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another.
Weathering is when rocks are broken into smaller rocks that remain in the same location and erosion is when pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another.
Weathering is when rocks are broken into smaller rocks that remain in the same location and erosion is when pressure compacts layers of sediments and turns them into smaller rock.
After studying some of Earth's landforms, a group of students created the table above about deltas.
Which of the statements about deltas from the list above is true?
Statement A
Statement B
Statement C
Statement D
Which is a true statement about sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock is made very quickly.
Sedimentary rock is cemented bits of rock.
Sedimentary rock is made of layers.
Sedimentary rock is made only by erosion.
Which diagram is not modeling one of the processes that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock?
