The picture shows the process of a sand dune being formed.
A student claims that a sand dune is created by both a constructive and destructive
force. Explain why the student is correct or incorrect.
No, the student is correct because the wind erosion is the constructive
force. The constructive force is the deposition of the sand.
Yes, the student is correct because the wind erosion is the destructive
force. The constructive force is the deposition of the sand.
Yes, the student is correct because the wind erosion is the constructive
force. The constructive force is the deposition of the sand.
No, the student is correct because the wind erosion is the destructive
force. The destructive force is the deposition of the sand.
The picture shows a volcano erupting
A student claims that the volcano is showing a constructive force. Why would a student say that?
After the hot lava cools it will create a new mountain
After the cooled lava heats it will create a new island, land
mass.
After the hot lava cools it will create a new island, land
mass.
After the hot lava cools it will create a new sinkhole
The Appalachian Mountains stretch from Mississippi up to Newfoundland, Canada. Give your best explanation for how this mountain range formed ? *hint! This is also
related to how Earthquakes occur.
Tectonic plates collided(pushed) together and
downward creating a mountain range.
Tectonic plates collided(pulled) together and
upward creating a mountain range.
Tectonic plates collided(pushed) together and
upward creating a mountain range.
Tectonic plates collided(pushed) together and
upward creating a sinkhole.
A student claims that the surface feature in the image above was created by
constructive processes . What evidence could support this? Try to use the vocabulary
words: deposition and sediment.
A volcano was created. Through erosion, the
sediment was deposited (deposition) at the mouth of the river, forming a river delta.
A river delta was created. Through erosion, the
sediment was deposited (deposition) at the mouth of the river, forming a river delta.
A sinkhole was created. Through erosion, the
sediment was deposited (deposition) at the mouth of the river, forming a river delta.
A river delta was created. Through tectonic plates deposited (deposition) at the mouth of the river, forming a river delta.
Thinking about the material found at the end of a river delta, where did most of this
material come from initially/at first?
Earthquakes
Cooled Volcanic Eruption
Sea Waves
Erosion
The image below is a gorge. A gorge is narrower and smaller than a canyon, but they
are formed in similar ways. Tallulah Gorge is an example in Georgia. Circle the part of the picture that is responsible for creating the gorge.
The image below is a gorge. A gorge is narrower and smaller than a canyon, but they
are formed in similar ways. Tallulah Gorge is an example in Georgia. Estimate how many years would this take to form?

A student has built a model of a hill using sugar cubes as a base and Georgia clay.
The student began to pour hot water on the model. Soon, small holes began to appear
and the hot water was able to reach the sugar cubes.
(a)
Mini caves form inside the clay mountain. What feature of Earth’s Surface is similar to
this? *Hint! Something that is caused by caves under the surface of the Earth?
Earthquakes
Sinkholes
Sea Waves
Erosion
