Which rock has been more WEATHERED?
Soil that has the greatest amount of EROSION will have:
more soil
less soil
Which is a SLOW change to Earth’s surface?
volcano
frost-wedging
rock slide blocking roadway
a glacier depositing rocks in a new place
How are beaches formed?
Floods move rocks onto beach
Waves move sand onto the beach.
Weathering caused the rocks to become larger.
Weathering can be caused by all of the following EXCEPT —
ice
wind
soil
water
Which is an example of weathering from ice?
hail and sleet falling from the sky to the ground
frost wedging
How was the Grand Canyon formed?
Water and flowing rivers wore away the landform.
Rain caused the sides of the hills to fall down.
What is the first step in an experiment?
Design the experiment.
Collect data.
Form a hypothesis. (An educated guess of what you predict will happen.)
Draw a conclusion
Is EROSION a fast or slow change to Earth's surface?
FAST, happens in minutes!
SLOW, takes many years!
The process that breaks down rocks and other materials on Earth's surface is called
Weathering
Erosion
Deposition
Decomposition
Plant root grow in a rock and cause it to split.
