Landforms
Weathering
Erosion and Deposition
Natural Resources
Critical Resources
Rocks
100
Type of processes that create landforms, such as valleys and canyons.
What are slow processes?
100
The process of larger rocks being broken down into smaller rocks
What is weathering?
100
The process that causes rocks and dirt to be picked up and moved to a different location.
What is erosion?
100
These are used by people in their daily lives and come from nature.
What are natural resourcs?
100
This is the act of saving, protecting or using resources wisely.
What is conservation?
100
These types of rocks have many holes in them and can collect water/dirt or air can flow through them.
What is porous?
200
This landform is created when wind moves dirt and sand and deposits them when the wind energy slows/stops.
What are sand dunes?
200
These are the elements of change responsible for weathering.
What is water, wind, and ice?
200
This is the placement of sediment in a new location due to inability of the agent of change to maintain movement/loss of energy.
What is deposition?
200
These resources can not be replaced by nature easily or quickly and include coal, oil, minerals, and natural gas.
What are nonrenewable resources?
200
This is the process of putting materials through processes that allows them to be reused.
What is recycling?
200
This term means the ability to allow water to flow through tiny spaces contained within a rock.
What is permeability?
300
This slow process results in the creation of V-shaped canyons - narrow steep on both sides.
What are rivers?
300
This is the smaller rocks that result from the process of weathering.
What is sediment?
300
The process responsible for the placement of rocks built up on the sides of the river bank.
What is deposition?
300
These resources can be replaced easily or quickly and include sunlight, water, wind, plants, and animals.
What are renewable resources?
300
All the living and nonliving things in an area.
What is the environment?
300
This mineral found in rocks allows water to flow through it and are responsible for Natural Bridge Caverns.
What is limestone?
400
This landform is created by the movement of a glacier.
What is a U-shaped valley?
400
The agent of change responsible for this landform:/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/filer/47/5f/475f2d65-ddc3-4b5d-a434-bf5fb319d48c/8078224634_f4323bbfb2_o.jpg)
What is wind?
400
This is a stream table and is used to model the flowing water in a river. Different amounts of water poured into the model would results in varying amounts of erosion. To get the greatest amount of erosion, you would use more or less water?
What is more water?
400
T/F: Because renewable resources can be replaced easily/quickly, you can use as much as you want. Why or why not?
What is false? Renewable resources have to have time and the right conditions to be replaced.
400
Driving an electric vehicle has two advantages that help preserve our natural resources. These include:
What is reduce the use of gasoline (a nonrenewable resource) and protect the environment (reduce air pollution, a renewable resource)?
400
This is a layer of rock that is permeable to water; it collects rain that soaks down from the ground's surface and is stores in the pores in the rock.
What is an aquifer?
500
This landform is created at the mouth of a river where sediment is deposited.
What is a delta?
500
This agent of change and process are responsible for creating the holes in the rocks where water can collect.
What is weathering by water?
500
Erosion is the movement of sediment from one place to another. Water from a river will cause erosion of sediment. The deposition of the sediment will most likely occur in the mountains, on smaller hills, or on flat land?
What is on flat land?
500
T/F: Plants are nonrenewable because once you cut it down or pull it up, it dies. Why or why not?
What is false? Plants can be replaced through planting of seeds or seedlings.
500
These are the benefits of recycling.
What is reduce amount of trash in landfills and conserve natural resources?
500
This type of rock layer traps oil and natural gas and does not allow anything to pass through them.
What is impermeable?
