What does it mean
?
?
The breaking down of rock on Earth's surface into smaller pieces.
What is weathering?
Wind and water can carry sand and small pieces of rock to new locations. What is this process called?
What is Deposition?
Volcanoes change Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is quickly?
The difference between weathering and erosion is:
a. weathering causes a quick change in landforms and erosion causes a slow change in landforms.
b. weathering breaks rocks into sediments and erosion moves sediment from one place to another.
What is B?
What are the three ways people can prevent the damage from weathering and erosion?
What are Dikes, Sandbags, Windbreaks
Mountains, islands, valleys, canyons, volcanos and other surface features of the land.
What are landforms?
When rainwater seeps into cracks in rocks and __________, it expands and causes the rock to split apart.
What is freezes?
Weathering changes Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is slowly?
The difference between erosion and deposition is:
a. erosion moves sediment from one place to another and deposition is a physical feature on the Earth.
b. deposition is the process of dropping, or depositing , sediment in a new location and erosion is the process of moving sediment from one place to another.
What is B?
What method should I use to prevent the soil being blown away by the wind?
What are Windbreaks, or plants whose roots protect the soil from moving.
The process by which weathered rock and sediments are carried away/moved
What is erosion?
The hot liquid found on the outside of a Volcano is called...
What is Lava
Erosion can change the shape of the land faster than a volcano can. True or False.
What is False?
Name a difference between weathering and erosion.
What is weathering makes things smaller, and erosion moves it?
SandBags help with preventing damage from what source?
What is water?
What are five quick changes that can cause damage to the earth?
The rock cycle is a process of rocks changing into from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic to magma back to igneous, and not always in that order. Name at least 3 of the factors causing rocks to change
What is weathering, erosion, heat, pressure, melting, cooling
Water can weather rock by:
A. eroding soil
B. by freezing and expanding
C. Heating and cooling
What is freezing and expanding?
Why are Hurricanes so destructive?
Heavy Rain and High Winds
Dikes help prevent ______________ from reaching homes when the water level rises.
What is flooding?
The hot molten rock inside a Volcano is called...
Weathering that is caused by wind, sand, rain, freezing, thawing, and other natural forces that can physically alter or change a rock
What is physical or mechanical weathering?
Hurricanes and flooding cause quick changes to the land. Hurricanes cover the land with ash and molten rock. True or False?
What is false?
The difference between physical and chemical weathering is:
A. Physical weathering just breaks things apart and chemical weathering changes the rocks forever.
B. Physical weathering breaks things apart and chemical weathering burns rocks with chemicals.
What is A?
Windbreaks are the best prevention for slowing down floods and rising water levels. True or False.
What is False.
