The diagram to the right shows a river flowing through a canyon. What is the most likely explanation for how the land became shaped this way?
The land was cracked in half by lightning, and then a river flowed through the gap.
The canyon was dug by animals looking for food. Later on, a river began flowing through it.
The river pushed sediment up the sides, forming two mountains in about 1 year.
Over many years, the river eroded the land to form a valley in the middle.
Based on the photo, when was the Mosasaurus most likely alive?
It was living after a layer of mudstone formed.
It was living before a layer of siltstone formed.
It was living after a layer of siltstone formed.
It was living very recently, because it was found near the surface of the Earth.
What is water getting into rocks and freezing breaking apart the rock and example of?
weathering
erosion
This landform is formed by
water erosion
weathering
deposition of sediments
glaciers
The build up of land by the settlement of sediments and soil in a new location.
Weathering
Erosion
Deposition
River
Erosion is one of the processes involved in the formation of Sedimentary Rock. Which of these best describes the process of erosion?
Rocks are broken into smaller pieces that remain in the same location.
Pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another.
Pressure compacts layers of sediment and turns them into rock.
Sediment grains fall to the bottom of a lake to form Sedimentary Rock.
Water on the Earth moves through the water cycle because of energy that comes from the-
Earth's core
Sun's heat
Moon's gravity
Wind's Movement
Which process is represented by letter D
Precipitation: Water falls from clouds to the earth as rain
Condensation: Water Vapor forms clouds in the atmosphere
evaporation: The sun's heat turns liquid water to a gas
Runoff/ accumulation:
Water flows down a mountain as a river

Last week it rained every day in San Antonio, Texas.
Yesterday was cold and windy in Anchorage, Alaska.
Which of the following best completes this diagram?
