A student views the picture of sea cliffs. The student claims the cliffs were formed by the destructive process of weathering. Is the student's claim correct? Why or why not?
The student is incorrect because the rocks were formed into cliffs through the constructive process of deposition.
The student is incorrect because the heat expanded small rocks into cliffs through the constructive process of sedimentation.
The student is correct because cliffs were formed through the destructive process of weathering as water wore down large rocks.
The student is correct because cliffs were formed through the destructive process of erosion as organisms wore down large rocks.
A student views a picture of a landform, X, commonly found along the coast. The student claims that the landform was created by a constructive process. Which argument best supports the student's claim?
The student's claim is incorrect because the landform was created from the erosion of the coastline.
The student's claim is incorrect because the landform was created as land was weathered by sea water.
The student's claim is correct because the landform was created as sand blew from one location to another.
The student's claim is correct because the landform was created as a river dropped clumps of sand onto the beach.
A student notices that the face of a mountain near a Georgia community has been changing. Some rocks have begun to break off the side of the mountain. A student claims that this is caused by a destructive process. Is the student's claim correct? Why or why not?
The student's claim is correct because the mountain is changing due to destructive process of sedimentation.
The student's claim is correct because the mountain is changing due to the destructive process of erosion.
The student's claim is incorrect because the mountain is changing due to constructive process of deposition.
The student's claim is incorrect because the mountain is changing due to the constructive process of weathering.
A student observes a canyon and claims it was formed by a destructive process. Which statement best supports the student's claim?
The student's claim is correct because the canyon was formed by the destructive process of erosion by a river.
The student's claim is incorrect because the canyon was formed by the constructive process of sedimentation.
The student's claim is correct because the canyon was formed by the destructive process of weathering by wind.
The student's claim is incorrect because the canyon was formed by the constructive process of deposition.
A student sees a delta at the mouth of a river and claims it was created by a constructive process. Which argument best supports the student's claim?
The student's claim is incorrect because the delta was created by the destructive process of erosion.
The student's claim is correct because the delta was formed by the constructive process of deposition of sediments.
The student's claim is correct because the delta was formed by the constructive process of sedimentation.
The student's claim is incorrect because the delta was formed by the destructive process of weathering.
A student notices that a beach is getting smaller over time. The student claims this is due to a destructive process. Is the student's claim correct? Why or why not?
The student's claim is incorrect because the beach is shrinking due to the constructive process of deposition.
The student's claim is correct because the beach is shrinking due to the destructive process of erosion by waves.
The student's claim is correct because the beach is shrinking due to the destructive process of weathering by wind.
The student's claim is incorrect because the beach is shrinking due to the constructive process of sedimentation.
How can a volcano be both constructive and destructive?
It's both constructive and destructive because it can form sand dunes and cause erosion.
It's both constructive and destructive because the plate tectonics push the land forward and breaks apart other land.
It's both constructive and destructive because it builds up land like islands and destroys land and vegetation from the lava.
It is not both constructive and destructive.

Students are studying the constructive and destructive processes that shape Earth's surface. The teacher separates the students into five groups. She asks each group to build a model that represents either a constructive or a destructive process. Which description best summarizes the process shown in group Z's model?
a constructive process of sand being deposited by gravity
a constructive process of sand being deposited by wind
a destructive process of sand being removed through erosion
a destructive process of sand being removed through weathering
From the models the students created, which three groups create a model to show constructive processes?
V, W, Z
W, X, Z
W, Y, Z
V, W, Y
Naomi looks at pictures of a beach shoreline before and after a major hurricane. She notices that after the hurricane, the ocean seems closer to the mountain. What could explain the difference between the two pictures?
The hurricane caused erosion on the beach.
The hurricane increased the sand on the beach.
The sand evaporated after the hurricane.
The water evaporated after the hurricane.
These rocks were broken apart from the continuous freeze/thaw of water in the cracks of the rocks. This is an example of:
Erosion
Chemical Weathering
Mechanical Weathering
Deposition
