water, ice, wind or gravity
moves fragments of rock
and soil.
water, ice, wind or gravity
deposit rock sediments
and soil in a new place.
Earth’s crust into smaller
and smaller pieces.
These rocks were made smooth by wind blowing smaller rock particles across their surface. This is an example of:
ice wedging
chemical weathering
acid rain
abrasion
During which process does layer upon layer of sediment build up, exerting pressure on the layers below?
Erosion
Compaction
Conglomerate
The process where material is added to land (or a landform). Can be deposited by water, wind or glaciers.
Deposition
Erosion
Weathering

Which description is considered most accurate regarding what actually happened during the Big Bang?
Two galaxies collided causing an immense explosion as stars crashed into one another
All of what would become the universe was concentrated in a single small point, or singularity, which rapidly expanded into what is now stars, planets, galaxies, matter, and energy.
All matter emerged from a massive black hole at the center of the universe.
Parts of the sun were ripped off by massive internal explosions and were thrown into space where they cooled to become other things, like plants, comets, and other galaxies.
______________ forms when water vapor cools and condenses around particles of dust and smoke to make tiny water droplets that gather together.
Clouds
Fog
Ice Crystals
Water Vapor
Which best explains why it is important for people to be able to identify cumulonimbus clouds?
Cumulonimbus clouds can cause mild showers
Cumulonimbus clouds can cause severe thunderstorms
Cumulonimbus clouds can form near the Earth's surface, causing fog
Cumulonimbus clouds form when the temperature is below freezing.
