A rock is broken down into sand which is a result of THIS type of weathering.
What is physical.
100
When sediment is carried by a stream and dumped at a delta, THIS is happening.
What is deposition.
100
Dunes form when sand is piled over an obstacle by THIS.
What is wind.
100
The main difference between lakes and rivers is THIS.
What is flow of movement.
100
Birds and other animals can cause physical AND chemical weathering because of their waste dropping and THIS.
What is movement over surfaces.
200
An area of rock is dissolved into a gas and a substance with a different composition is due to THIS.
What is chemical weathering.
200
When gravity's pull changes over the course of a river due to steepness, it is called THIS.
What is gradient.
200
Glaciers can cause weathering by pulling rock over Earth's surface which causes THIS.
What is abrasion.
200
Deltas form because when a river meets a larger body of water it does THIS which results in deposition.
What is slows down.
200
Oxidation many times forms near sources of THIS.
What is water.
300
A type of physical weathering that occurs because water flows easily and then expands when it changes state, is THIS.
What is ice wedging.
300
Canyons, valleys, and sinkholes, are formed by THIS, while floodplains, and deltas are formed by THIS. (You must answer both correct in the right order.)
What is erosion and deposition.
300
Rock and other material can build up in strange areas when glaciers deposit THIS after melting.
What is glacial drift.
300
Coastlines are dynamic, meaning they do THIS as a result of waves, winds, and tides.
What is change.
300
DAILY DOUBLE: Answer this question correctly and your team will all receive 5 points extra credit in addition to the game points.
A moraine is when a glacier moves over an area and does THIS.
What is deposits material.
400
Exfoliation happens when the top layer of rock is cracked and falls off due to THIS within the earth.
What is pressure change.
400
Waves erode headlands and deposit sediment on beaches because the waves' amount of THIS is higher along the headlands than along the beach.
What is energy.
400
Trees and vegetation act as anchors to hold soil in place, but roots actually help gravity pull soil downward resulting in creep, because they do THIS.
What is break up the soil.
400
Dunes are important in Florida because they provide THIS.
What is habitat for many organisms.
400
Energy is mainly transferred through the oceans by THIS method.
What is convection.
500
Many times chemical weathering happens because of acids and THIS mixing with rock composition.
What is oxygen.
500
Florida has sandy beaches instead of rocky ones mainly because they are built by materials carried by THESE. (be specific!)
What is low energy waves.
500
While creep is slow mass movement, gravity also causes THESE types of rapid mass movement (give TWO).
What is rockfall, landslide, mudflow.
500
Florida has many sinkhole lakes because of THIS.
What is soft limestone rock under the surface.
500
Weather can be greatly effected by the amount of THIS that is present is the atmosphere.
