A student wants to create a model that shows how sand dunes are formed. First, she places sand in an aluminum pan. What’s her next step?
Pour a cup of water in the pan
Shake the pan back and forth
Use a fan to blow the sand
Place ice in the pan
What is this landform?
delta
canyon
valley
sand dune
The picture shows a wide u-shaped valley. This valleyw as most likely formed by?
wind
river
glacier
landslide
Which list contains only processes that must occur in order for fossil fuels to form.
Formation of faults, burial, glacier formation
Organism growth, burial, volcanic eruption
Organism growth, burial, compaction
Erosion, burial, earthquakes
This photo shows plants growing on the surface of a pond. How do plants like these form fossil fuels?
The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and get buried by sediment for millions year.
The dead plants get buried for millions of years and forms fossils that attract carbon.
The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and are consumed by decomposers.
The dead plants produce carbon that is consumed by fish, which form fossils.
Students make a model to show first step in formation of sedimentary rock. They pour 2 cm of light colored sand into a clear plastic box. They add 1 cm of gravel. Finally they pour 2 cm of dark colored sand on top of gravel. Which characteristic of sedimentary rock does this model show?
Sedimentary rock is made of layers
Sedimentary rock is made of cemented bits of rock
Sedimentary rock is often limestone
Sedimentary rock is often common in Texas.
Fossil fuels formed over long periods of time after particles in water settled to the sea floor and formed marine mud. What kinds of particles needed to be present in the marine mud in order for fossil fuels to form?
Mostly sand and a few small bits of wood
mostly decaying organisms
mostly lava and a few sedimentary rocks
mostly metal minerals
aolian arch
river delta
v shaped valley
u shaped valley
rapid moving water
a hurricane
burrowing animals
volcanic activity
delta
canyon
cave
sand dune
water
wind
glaciers
mud
The process in which rock is broken down into
smaller pieces is –
erosion
weathering
deposition
compaction
Both are formed by the movement of glaciers.
Both are formed by water eroding sediments.
Both are formed by wind weathering rocks.
Both are formed be deposition of sediments.
a slow moving glacier
a thunderstorm
heavy winds
moving water
Which student-created model best represents
the formation of a delta?
A student carefully placed pieces of gravel in
a hill.
A student set up a tray of sand and blew
through a straw to form a hill of sand.
A student poured water into a stream table
filled with dirt and observed sediments get
deposited at the end of the table in a
triangular shape.
A student packed damp sand in a tray then
scraped a large ice cube along the bottom.
flooding
wind
massive glaciers
volcanic activity
The erosion of sediments in the ocean
The weathering of rock by glaciers
The deposition of sediments carried by the
ocean
The deposition of sediments carried by the river
All of these are related to the formation of natural gas and oil EXCEPT....
decomposed animals
decayed plants
sedimentary rock
active volcanoes
Wind, water, or ice breaking rock into smaller pieces is called
sand dune
delta
weathering
canyon
landform
Deposition
Breaks it
Takes it
Drops it
Squashes it
Glues it
Deposition
Breaks it
Takes it
Drops it
Squashes it
Glues it
All of these processes are related to the formation of sedimentary rock EXCEPT -
compaction
cementation
deposition
condensation
The table below describes the steps involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. Based on the information above, which step in the sedimentary rock formation process is known as deposition?
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
The diagram below shows the processes of sedimentary rock formation. Which process best fit in the box marked with an X?
Weather and Compaction
Erosion and Cementation
Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
Melting, Cooling, and Deposition
Sedimentary rocks form when broken bits of other rock are deposited and then –
buried and squeezed and cemented together.
melted by the heat of the Earth’s core.
completely dissolved in salt water in the ocean.
used by humans as a natural resource.
Which of the following is a process that creates the sediments that form sedimentary rock?
Wind, water, and ice breaking rock into smaller pieces
Heat from the earth melting rock below the surface
Volcanoes putting out lava that cools to form new rock
Continents pushing together to fold layers of rock
Which of the following describes the formation of sedimentary rocks in the correct order?
Weathering, Erosion, Compaction, Deposition, Cementation
Weathering, Cementation, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction
Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation
Weathering, Deposition, Erosion, Compaction, Cementation
Which of the following correctly completes the Sedimentary Rock Cycle?
A = Compaction, B = Erosion, C = Cementation
A = Erosion, B = Compaction, C = Cementation
A = Cementation, B = Compaction, C = Erosion
A = Erosion, B = Cementation, C = Compaction
A student builds a circuit made up of a battery, two light bulbs, and a switch. What will the student most likely observe in this circuit?
Light bulb 1 and light bulb 2 will both be on
Light bulb 1 will be off, but light bulb 2 will be on
Light bulb 1 and light bulb 2 will both be off
Light bulb 1 will be on, but light bulb 2 will be off
The circuit has 3 lightbulbs and a bell. Which procedure will result in only the blue lightbulbs operating?
Close switches 1 and 2 and leave switch 3 open
Close switch 3 and leave switches 1 and 2 open
Close switches 2 and 3 and leave switch 1 open
Close switch 2 and leave switches 1 and 3 open
The diagram shows an electric circuit with four bells that a student plans to build. When the student connects the wire as shown, which of the bells will ring?
Bell 1 only
Bells 1 and 4 only
Bells 3 and 4 only
Bells 1, 2, 3, and 4
Students drop the same heavy ball onto identical blocks of soft clay from different heights. For each height they measure the depth of the dent the ball makes in the clay. What will be different in all of the trials for this investigation?
Height ball is dropped from
