What is the driving force behind the movement of the plates?
Convection currents in the Earth's mantle are caused by:
Less dense hot magma moving downward
Less dense hot magma moving upward
Tectonic plate movement
More dense cooler magma moving upward

The image above shows sand dunes in a desert. What process is responsible for changing sand dunes in a desert?
Glaciers
Rain
River
Wind
If the lines are close together on the map, it means that the rise/drop is ________________
Steep
Gradual
If the lines are far apart, it means it is a slow or ________________ rise/drop
Gradual
Steep

The satellite image below shows a portion of the Namib Desert in Africa. This is an ancient, sandy desert with dunes that can be up to 305 m tall. The Namib Desert extends inland from the Atlantic Ocean between 80 km and 200 km and receives only 5 mm to 76 mm of rain each year.
A satellite picture of this same area taken weeks before shows that the shape and location of some sand dunes have changed. Which of these most likely caused the changes in the dunes?
Ocean waves
Flowing rivers
Blowing wind
Crustal uplift
Which of the following best describes how mountains change over time?
The elevation of the peaks will decrease due to erosion.
The elevation of the peaks will increase due to weathering.
The elevation of the peaks will increase due to deposition.
Mountains stay the same, they never change.

The satellite photograph shows a large meteorite crater that is 1200 m in diameter and 170 m deep. This crater is located in a flat, arid part of northeastern Arizona How will this crater most likely change over time?
It will get deeper as it fills with water
It will rise up like a volcanic crater
It will become less deep as the rain erodes.
It will widen as it fills with lava
