100
This land form in Utah was formed by wind. You can find it on the Utah license plate.
What is an arch?
100
Energy waves passing through Earth caused by a sudden shift of Earth's crust along faults.
What is an earthquake?
100
This only happens when forces carrying sediments are no longer strong enough to move.
What is deposition?
100
Openings in the Earth's crust that allow hot, melted rock, ash, and gases to erupt outward. These are useful because they can enrich soil.
What is a volcanoe?
100
The movement of earth materials from one place to another.
What is erosion?
200
In a hundred years this land form will look how much different then it does now?
What is very little?
200
This land form is created by an earthquake.
What is a mountain?
200
true or false deposition can create land forms.
what is true?
200
Tool to measure volcanoes movement of the Earth's surface.
What is a seismographs?
200
Large, slow-moving masses of snow, ice, rock, and dirt which is a common cause of erosion.
What is a glacier?
300
The upward movement of Earth's crust occurs when part of Earth's surface rises above the surrounding land by great forces of heat and pressure deep within earth.
What is uplift?
300
These cause an earthquake when they move.
What are tectonic plates?
300
These are the forces that allow deposition to happen.
What is weathering and erosion?
300
Are currently erupting or showing signs of eruption soon.
What is an active volcano?
300
This is the most powerful erosion force on earth today.
What is water?
400
Earthquakes can create landforms on the Earth's surface. An example of this is when valley rocks slide down and the mountain rocks slide up.
What is a mountain?
400
This is used to measure earthquakes and record the strength and location.
What is a Richter Scale?
400
This is a form of WEATHERING that forms canyons with steep walls that have a V-shape.
What is a river

DAILY DOUBLE!!!!! Name and describe the three different types of volcanoes...
What is a composite volcano which is often very steep and has explosive eruptions? What is a shield volcano which is large and NOT steep and has non-explosive eruptions. What is a cinder cone volcano which is small, cone-shaped, steep and usually erupts strongly once and shoots rocks called pumice up in the air?
400
Name the 3 layers of the earth starting with the middle of the earth.
What is the core, mantle, and crust?
500
This landform forms along cracks in the earth's crust and reaches far below the surface where temperatures are hot enough to melt rock.
What is a volcano?
500
Earthquakes in the ocean cause this to happen to coastal communities and other areas.
What is a Tsunami?
500
Describe the difference between weathering, erosion, and deposition.
Weathering-breaks down earth materials into smaller pieces, Erosion-the movement of earth's materials from one place to another
Deposition-the dropping of materials to a new locations
500
The area encircling the Pacific Ocean is called ______ because its edges mark a circle of high volcanic and seismic activity (earthquakes).
What is the "Ring of Fire"?
500
Powerful forces of this include water, wind, temperature, chemical changes, and living organisms.
What is Agents of weathering?
