The student’s claim is correct; the evidence in the picture shows that both valleys were formed by the

constructive force of deposition because flowing water carries large rocks from far away and drops

them along a river, making the banks taller.

The student’s claim is correct; the evidence in the picture shows that both valleys were formed by the

destructive forces of weathering and erosion because flowing water breaks down rock and carries the

small pieces downstream.

The student’s claim is not correct; the evidence in the picture shows that valley 1 was formed by the

destructive forces of weathering and erosion because flowing water breaks down rock and carries the

small pieces downstream, but valley 2 was formed by the constructive force of deposition because

flowing water carries large rocks from far away and drops them along a river, making the banks taller.

d)

The student’s claim is not correct; the evidence in the picture shows that valley 1 was formed by

the constructive force of deposition because flowing water carries large rocks from far away and

drops them along a river, making the banks taller, but valley 2 was formed by the destructive forces

of weathering and erosion because flowing water breaks down rock and carries the small pieces

downstream.

b)

The student’s claim is correct because the rock was carried from the top of the volcano to its base by a glacier, creating many cracks over time.

c)

The student’s claim is not correct because the rock was picked up by moving water and rolled against

other rocks, smoothing its surface and causing cracks in a short period of time.

d)

The student’s claim is not correct because large cracks in rocks are caused when lava from a volcano

covers the rock so its temperature rises and falls in a short period of time, causing it to break.
