Slow Changes
100
Small pieces that break off of rocks.
What are sediments?
100
The wearing away of rocks and Earth by the force of moving water.
What is water erosion?
100

A large crack on the Earth formed by a slow moving river over a long period of time.

What is a canyon?

100
The difference between weathering and erosion is: a. weathering causes a quick change in landforms and erosion causes a slow change in landforms. b. weathering breaks rocks into sediments and erosion moves sediment from one place to another.
What is B?
100

Name the 3 agents of change

What is water, wind, and ice?

200
Gigantic formations of ice that do not completely melt over the course of a year.
What is a glacier?
200

 Freezing water causes weathering of rocks because...

cracks expand and break the rocks.

200
Sand dunes are formed by this type of erosion.
What is wind erosion?
200
The difference between erosion and deposition is: a. erosion moves sediment from one place to another and deposition is a physical feature on the Earth. b. deposition is the process of dropping , or depositing , sediment in a new location and erosion is the process of moving sediment from one place to another.
What is B?
200
Weathering changes Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is slowly?
300
A growing pile of deposited sediment at the mouth of a river.
What is a delta?
300

How do plants weather rocks?

A. During photosynthesis B.When roots grow into cracks of rocks and expand the rock breaks. C. When the plant moves water from the roots to the leaves, the rock breaks. D. Plants don't weather rocks.


What is C?

300
A delta is formed by this type of erosion.
What is deposition?
300
Name a difference between weathering and erosion.
What is weathering makes things smaller, and erosion moves it?
300
Erosion can change the shape of the land faster than a volcano can. True or False.
What is False?
400

Natural feature of the surface of the Earth formed by slow changes.

What are landforms?

400
All processes that break apart rock by changing its chemical makeup.
What is chemical weathering?
400
A U-shpaed valley is formed by this type of erosion.
What is glacial erosion?
400
The difference between a moraine and a dune is: A. Moraines are leftover from glaciers when they melt and dunes are left over from rivers when they dry up. B. Moraines are leftover from glaciers when they melt and dunes are formed when sand is blown away and deposited elsewhere.
What is B?
400

Water can weather rock by: A. eroding soil B. by freezing and melting

What is freezing and melting?

500
Nonliving, solid material that are formed in nature and made of crystals.
What are minerals?
500
The dropping of sediments by the agents of erosion .
What is deposition?
500

Formed when ocean waves crash against rock for many years. 

What is a cliff?

500
The difference between physical and chemical weathering is: A. Physical weathering just breaks things apart and chemical weathering changes the rocks forever. B. Physical weathering breaks things apart and chemical weathering burns rocks with chemicals.
What is A?
500

What is rock arches?
