Name two things needed to complete an electrical circuit.
Power source (battery), wires, load (like buzzer), closed switch
Explain how a canyon forms.
A river weathers and erodes rock for many years.
Explain how weathering, erosion, and deposition work together to change Earth’s surface. Use an example in your explanation.
Weathering breaks rocks into small pieces. Erosion moves the pieces. Deposition drops them into layers. Example: A river weathers rock, carries sediment, and deposits it to form a delta.
Why does a heavier object need more force to move?
Greater mass
