Name an example of a force that would change the earth's surface...
Running water
wind
hard rains
volcanic eruptions
Choose the images that best shows hurricane winds breaking down rocks and carrying sediment away...
Destructive forces are processes…
build up the earth's surface
tearing down the earth's surface
both answers are correct
no correct answer
What are constructive forces?
add sediment to existing areas of land
build up Earth's crust,
destroys all landforms
create new landforms,
Name a way that tectonic forces can be constructive at a
Convergent boundary ?
when they tear down sand dunes
When they form mountains
when they destruct volcanoes with violent eruption
when rock is weathered
THE CREATION OF CRUST AT A MID OCEAN RIDGE IS CONSIDERED TO BE WHAT KIND OF A FORCE
CONSTRUCTIVE
DESTRUCTIVE
JEDI
HORSE
Explain why a Delta is a constructive landforms...
at the end of a stream no sediment was deposited
because sediment was eroded and never deposited
because sediment is being moved, deposited and built up by erosion
because sediment wasn't being moved or built up at all
How can tectonic forces can be constructive at a
Convergent boundary ? By forming, (a) . These landforms are best made by plates that are the same density. Each dash will take a letter.
When do Volcanoes act as constructive forces?
when they violently erupt
they never do
when they pour out magma and burn houses
when they have outpourings and create lava plateaus
wind
glaciers
tectonic activity
What is sediment ? ( choose all answers that apply)
Sediment is solid material that is moved and deposited in a new location.
Sediment can consist of rocks and minerals, as well as the remains of plants and animals
It can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a boulder.
Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion.
How can wind in a hurricane can be constructive?
when they weather beach rocks
when they create sand dunes by deposition on beaches
when they erode sand from beaches
when they cause huge winds that destroy buildings
Which answers show Volcanoes acting as constructive forces...
volcano creating an island
