Hodgepodge
100
A landform created when ocean waves and wind erode a hole through it.
What is a sea arch?
100
The process in which rock is broken down by physical changes.
What is physical weathering?
100
The process in which sediments are moved from one place to another.
What is erosion?
100
This type of plate boundary occurs when two plates come together.
What is a convergent boundary?
100
This process causes iron in rocks to turn the rocks to reddish orange.
What is oxidation?
200
The effect of a shore that has been hit by stormy seas and rough waves?
What is a rocky beach?
200
The process of dissolving rock in acid.
What is chemical weathering?
200
The dropping of sediments (rock, sand, etc).
What is deposition?
200
This type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
200
This process takes a long period of time to make changes to the Earth's surface.
What is weathering?
300
The landform created when a river erodes away the land creating high, steep walls on either side of the river.
What is a canyon?
300
Ice, tree roots and rivers cause this.
What is physical weathering?
300
Valleys, canyons and sea arches are all created by this process.
What is erosion?
300
This type of plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other.
What is a transform boundary?
300
Earthquakes occur at these types of boundaries.
What are transform, convergent, divergent?
400
A landform created when groundwater erodes a hole in the land?
What is a cave?
400
When rain water that is acidic reacts with the minerals in rocks.
What is chemical weathering?
400
Landforms result from changes over time to Earth's surface because of these things.
What is wind, glaciers/ice, water and gravity?
400
Mountains are formed at this type of boundary.
What is a convergent boundary?
400
This process caused the hot rock to rise through the mantle and form the Hawaiian islands.
What is convection?
500
The landform created when a ridge of sand is built up near the shore, either under the water or partially above the water.
What is a sandbar?
500
This affects the rate of weathering.
What is the type of rock, seasonal changes AND the presence of acid?
500
This process causes deltas and alluvial fans to form where a stream empties into a lake, gulf or ocean.
What is deposition?
500
This is the theory that Earth's lithosphere (the layer under the crust) is made up of pieces that are in constant motion.
What is plate tectonics?
500
The name for the line of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean that formed where tectonic plates meet each other.
What is the Ring of Fire?
