Weathering

Metamorphosis

Plateau

Crystallization

How is a landslide like an avalanche?

Both are caused by erosion.

Both are caused by snow and ice.

Both are rapid kinds of erosion.

Both deposit material on steep hills.

How can an earthquake change the Earth’s surface?

It can make the climate hotter.

It can cause glaciers to melt.

It can cause fires.

The continual flow of lava destroys farmland.

Which of these landforms is always found on the coast?

Valley

Mountain

Canyon

Peninsula

5.

Which can cause physical weathering?

The surface

Landforms

Water

The crust

6.

1 point

What is an example of erosion?

When wind deposits weathered pieces of rock

When landforms cause physical weathering

When rainwater moves soil down a mountain

When Earth’s plates move

7.

1 point

How can a glacier erode landforms?

The glacier slides across Earth’s surface and wears it away.

The glacier contains chemicals that cause rocks to break.

The glacier melts, and floating ice pushes rocks away.

The pressure of the glacier melts the rocks underneath.

1 point

What causes a volcano to erupt?

Violent weather rubs the crust bare and magma escapes.

Movement in Earth’s plates heats up magma so it explodes.

Magma comes through the crust in a weak spot.

Earthquakes heat up magma, which explodes.

1 point

Which of these is true of Earth’s surface?

Earth’s surface is constantly changing.

All landforms on Earth’s surface extend into the water.

The rocks on Earth’s surface move, but they do not change.

Change to Earth’s surface always takes a long time.

How does acid rain form?

Rain mixes with oxygen to form acid rain.

Rain mixes with carbon dioxide to form an acid.

Rain mixes with sunlight to form acid.

Rain mixes with chemicals from water supplies.

11.

1 point

What is a fault?

An earthquake

The epicenter of an earthquake

A break in the Earth’s crust

A place where the Earth’s crust is thick

12.

1 point

How does deposition change Earth’s surface?

By building up parts of Earth’s surface

By causing earthquakes

By destroying parts of Earth’s surface

By making an area unfit for growing pains
