100

This is the process of breaking rock into silt, sand, clay and other tiny pieces.

What is weathering

100

A physical feature on earth's surface such as a mountain or valley is called.

What is a landform?

100

This step begins the process of scientific inquiry.

What is posing questions?

100
This is the three major factors of weathering.
What are wind, water and ice?
100
This is flat area of land formed by wind and water erosion.
What is a plateaus?
200

This is the process of moving sediment from one place to another.

What is erosion?

200
Rivers can create landforms such as what.
What are canyons or deltas?
200
The second step of the scientific method is?
What is make a hypothesis?
200
The Earth's surface changes slowly or quickly over time.
What is slowly over time?
200

This is caused by sudden release of energy as plates slide past each other.

What is earthquake?

300

The remains or traces of past life found in some rocks.

What are fossils?

300

Thick sheets of ice. It is formed where snow falls.

What are glaciers?

300
This is what you change to test your hypothesis.
What is manipulated variable?
300
This is what happens if water gets into rocks and freezes.
What is cracks?
300

This is why scientist study fossils.

What is to learn more about the past?

400

This is the process of dropping sediment into a new locations.

What is depostion?

400

Wind erosion can also blow sand into large mounds called what?

What are dunes?

400
This is what an hypothesis is.
What is a guess?
400
This is the main agent of weathering and erosion.
What is water?
400

This is formed by plates crashing into each other.(an area of land higher than the area around it)

What are mountains?

500

This is the force that pulls rock and soil down slopes.

What is gravity?

500

This is formed at the mouth of a river.

What is a delta?

500
In order to conduct a "fair test" you must do this.
What is only change one variable at a time?
500
Rivers pick up sediment and move it where.
What is downstream?
500

This is the supercontinent?

What is pangea?
