Name the two types of forces that change Earth’s surface.
Constructive and Destructive
100
Name three landforms found on Earth's surface.
Mountains, hills, mountain valleys, plateaus, plains, river valleys, and flood plains
100
How often do changes to the Earth's surface occur?
All the time!
100
Name the three properties used to identify surface features.
Location, shape, and erosion
100
What is Earth’s rocky outer layer called?
The crust
200
Give an example of a constructive force.
Deposition, volcanic activity, faults, earthquakes, magma
200
Name two types of bodies of water found on Earth’s surface.
Oceans, rivers, lakes, marshes
200
Landslides are large movements of land down a steep slope. Give an example of a type of landslide.
Mudslide, rock fall, and avalanche
200
True or False: Chemical Reaction can cause erosion.
False- Chemical reaction can cause weathering, but not erosion.
200
Name the type of map that shows the shape of Earth’s surface and the elevation of surface features.
Topographic Map
300
Name two types of destructive forces.
Erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering
300
What landform can be formed by the build-up of sand over thousands of years?
Sand dunes
300
What environmental factors are causing the glaciers to melt?
Climate changes and increasing temperatures
300
What causes a sinkhole?
The land above the weathered rock sinks or a cave collapses.
300
What famous American landmark on the Earth’s surface was created by the destructive force of erosion?
The Grand Canyon
400
What constructive force can create small islands?
Deposition
400
How were the Hawaiian Islands formed?
Volcanic activity
400
What would cause solid limestone to change into a cave?
Water that causes weathering and erosion
400
Describe how the Himalayan Mountains were formed.
Huge pieces of the earth’s crust moved into each other, which created pressure that forced the crust to fold and make mountains.
400
What do the continental rise, the continental shelf, and the continental slope make up?
The continental margin
500
Define “deposition.”
A constructive force in which sediments that have been moved from one place are dropped or released in another.
500
When acidic water dissolves minerals in rock and makes holes in the rock, what landform will eventually be formed?
A cave
500
What kind of weathering process breaks larger rocks into smaller pieces of rock known as sediment?
Mechanical weathering
500
Why is most of Earth’s water unusable?
It is locked in ice sheets or glaciers.
500
How do the contour lines of a topographical map help us?
The contour lines show us the areas with the same elevation
