How might sediment deposition make a river change its course?
What is this might force the river to flow in a pth that offers less resistance
100
The terminal moraine that formed abot 20,000 years ago is tall and well defined compared to the terminal moraine that formed more than 800,000 years ago. Infer why this is so.
What is the moraine formed more than 800,000 years ago has been subjected to more erosion than the one that formed more than 20,000 years ago because it`s older.
100
What does the great amount of time needed to produce soil tell us about the importance of preserving our soil and protecting it from erosion?
What is because new soil takes so long to make, it is crucial to preserve the existing soil
100
The difference in elevation between contour lines: shows how much you would ascend or descend every time you went from one contour line to another
What is contour interval
100
Which accurately compares erosion with weathering?
What is A- Weathering breaks rocks apart into smaller pieces; erosion moves the rocks fragments from one place to another
200
Is ripping up cardboard mechanical or chemical weathering?
What is mechanical
200
Why do you think early geologists named such boulders erratics?
What is they are out of place
200
Imagine your are helping to cut out a new trail through a mountainous park. The trail should connect Base Camp with High Refuge in the easiest way, not necessarily the shortest. Describe the route your trail would take.
What is The easiest route would lead to Zephyr Lake circle around the shore and go around the north side of the Mt. Graham
200
A line on a map that connects places that have the same elevation above sea level
What is contour line
200
A particular soil is good for growing crops. How much of this soil`s volume is air and water?
What is C- about half
300
Is burning pieces of cardboard mechanical or chemical weathering?
What is chemical weathering
300
Eskers and terminal moraines are both ridges of sediment deposited by glaciers. Describe one way in which they differ.
What is Eskers run perpendicular to the glaciers edge and the terminal moraine runs parallel
300
What is the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points depicted on the map? Give your best estimate.
What is 2017 is the difference in elevation
300
A map that shows the different elevations of an area of land
What is contour map
300
One day, you see a metal bridge that has turned reddish-brown from exposure to the air. Which process does this demonstrate?
What is B- chemical weathering
400
Describe one difference between mass wasting and other agents of erosion.
What is mass wasting is different than other agents of erosion because it moves sediment vertically. The deposition of sediment is a constructive force because it produces new landforms
400
Rivers consist of freshwater; oceans consists of salt water. Predict the composition of the water in an estuary.
What is mix of both fresh and salt water.
400
Weathering in which a chemical change takes place in the rock or rock particles
What is chemical weathering
400
The placemen of sediment to produce landforms
What is deposition
400
Why do geologists consider some glacial processes to be constructive?
What is D- Glaciers can make hills, ridges, and plains of sediment
500
What happens to a glacier when its edge melts more qucily than new ice can replace it?
What is the edge would retreat from the glaciers farthest advance.

Would you find a lot of humans in a desert region? Explain.
What is No they do not have a lot of humus because there is little organic matter in a desert
500
A natural geological process that makes minerals, rocks, and landforms
What is constructive force
500
A natural geological process that wears down land forms, rocks, and minerals, and carries the bits and pieces to different places on land and sea
What is destructive force
500
On a contour map, the contour intervals represent....
What is B- the difference in elevation between two neighboring contour lines
