Landforms
Water shaping the world
100
A body of water
What is a reservoir?
100
What are the 3 types of rocks?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary
100
What landform is this and what kind of rock makes it up?
Canyon, sedimentary rock (the layers show compression)
100
What are the 3 major types of change that can affect rocks?
Erosion, weathering, and deposition
200
What are the 7 reservoirs?
Rivers, lakes, oceans/seas, living things, soil, groundwater, atmosphere
200
True or false?
Rocks can only turn into other types of rocks by following a straight line. Rocks cannot become any other type of rock.
False, rocks can go through many processes and become any other type of rock.
200
What landform is this and what EXACT type of rock is it made out of?
*Bonus point: How are caves formed?
Cave, limestone
*Bonus point: caves are formed when water dissolves limestone.
200
Where would you find the most metamorphic rock?
Near lava/maga; by a volcano
300
water is involved in what kind(s) of weathering?
Physical (ice wedging and abrasion) and chemical (hydrolysis)
300
How are metamorphic rocks made?
Sedimentary or Igneous rocks are put under heat and pressure.
300
What landform is this and how did it form?
Erosion moves tiny rocks, deposition set them down on the shoreline.
300
How do sedimentary rocks form?
Include deposition, weathering, and erosion in your answer.
Bits of rock get chipped off by weathering, carried away to a new location by erosion, then settle by deposition until they compress and cement into a sedimentary rock.
400
True or false?
Water can move from any reservoir to any other reservoir. There is no path is has to follow.
False. Water can only move from the ocean to the atmosphere, nowhere else.
400
How are igneous rocks made?
Sedimentary or metamorphic rocks melt into lava then cool back down.
400
What landform is this and if you know that a glacier traveled through, how was it made?
V-valley, made through weathering and erosion
400
Why a mountain may become a plateau?
Weathering and erosion
500
Which process of movement in the water cycle can cause water to fall from the atmosphere and weathering a mountain?
precipitation
500
If we put coal under extreme heat and pressure, what will it become?
A metamorphic rock
500
What landform is this and what makes the sand?
A beach, and weathering makes sand
500
What can cause lava/magma to cool down, and what type of rock will it become?
water, igneous rock
