An area of new land at the mouth of a river, formed from sediments carried by the river.
What is a river delta
100

The process of moving sediment by wind, moving water, or ice.

Erosion

100
Where would you most likely find a delta?
Near a river's mouth

What comes out of a volcano? What happens when it cools?
Lava Igneous Rock forms

Does an animal cell or a plant cell have a cell wall?
Plant Cell

This landform is created when two tectonic plates collide and one pushes up through the earth's crust : Convergent Plates.

Mountains

What is weathering?
The process of breaking down rock by natural means
200

Why do sand dunes most likely form by an ocean?

Water and wind can both move sand. Sand dunes form where the wind is strong and the sand deposits are plentiful. That is why the beach is the perfect location for them!

200
How do earthquakes happen?
The earth's plates collide on the fault lines

Name 3 types of constructive forces.

Fault, Earthquake, Volcano, Deposition, Wind (Sand Dunes)

300
What are 3 types of weathering?
Acid Rain, Ice expanding (cracking surfaces), tree roots growing and cracking roads, wind, water
300
How is moving water a destructive process?
Carries away broken rock/sediment. Can break down rocks into sediment.
300
What does a seismograph do?
Measures the earth's vibrations to track and predict earthquakes
300
What kind of change is breaking chalk into little pieces?
Physical Change
400

This constructive force moves sediment through water until it is deposited to create a new landform.

What is deposition?

400
Name one way humans are a destructive force on nature?
Pollution, deforestation, over crowding, carbon footprint
400
What is one land form made from erosion from water.
canyons, valleys, mesa, banks of a river, delta

How did the island of Hawaii form?

Hot spots / plates shift over a hot spot

Animals can be classified into these two main groups.

Vertebrate & Invertebrate

500

How are sand dunes formed?

The wind blows the sand and can shape hills or mounds of sand called dunes

500
What are two phenomenon that can be both destructive and constructive depending on the situation?
Earthquakes and volcanoes
500
What type of rain is especially destructive?
Acid Rain
