Limestone rocks provide places for shore birds to perch. These rocks look rough because they have been broken down over time.

What parts of the picture should Liam label to show the things that break down the rock by physical means? A. the birds only B. the water only C. the birds and the water D. the water and the rock
What is C. the birds and the water?

Zora puts the two pebbles shown in a rock tumbler. The tumbler spins so the rocks bump against each other. When she takes the pebbles out, she discovers that pebble 1 had more abrasion than pebble 2. What can she conclude about the pebbles? A. Pebble 2 is softer than pebble 1. B. Pebble 2 is harder than pebble 1. C. Pebble 2 is less reactive than pebble 1. D. Pebble 2 is more reactive than pebble 1.
What is C. Pebble 2 is less reactive than pebble 1?

How is a rockfall different from a rockslide? A. In a rockfall, a mass of rocks slides together, whereas in a rockslide, blocks of rock drop freely. B. In a rockfall, individual blocks of rock drop freely, whereas in a rockslide, a mass of rocks slides together. C. In a rockfall, a mountain slope collapses after heavy rains, whereas in a rockslide, large masses of rock fall after an earthquake. D. In a rockfall, an earthquake triggers rocks to slide together, whereas in a rockslide, a mountain slope collapses after heavy rains.

What else should she include in this part of her diagram? A. how abrasion happens B. how chemical weathering affects the rocks C. how flowing water tumbles the rocks together D. how small pieces of rock are moved to the beach

Crops are often grown on floodplains because floodplains are usually very fertile. What is the main reason that floodplains are fertile? A. Floodplains receive high amounts of rainfall. B. Their flat surfaces result in little erosion of the soil. C. Sediment is deposited on the plain each time it floods. D. The soil takes in and holds the water from each flood.
What is C.Sediment is deposited on the plain each time it floods?

Glaciers form in cold areas with lots of snow. The snow must turn into ice to form a glacier. How does this happen? A. The cold wind blows across the top of the snow, turning it into ice. B. The snow builds up, and its weight compresses the snow below into ice. C. The snow melts as it falls and then freezes once it hits the cold ground. D. The temperature on the ground is cold enough to turn the snow into ice.
What is B. The snow builds up, and its weight compresses the snow below into ice?

For millions of years, large amounts of glacial ice formed on Earth, covering huge areas of land. It then melted, or receded. When large amounts of glacial ice formed, large amounts of water froze. When the glacial ice melted, it released water into the oceans. Based on this information, what effect did glaciers have on the formation of Florida? A. Florida’s coastlines were eroded only during cold periods. B. Florida’s coastlines were eroded only during warm periods. C. Different parts of Florida’s coastlines were eroded during warm and cold periods. D. Florida’s mountains were eroded only during warm periods.
What is C. Different parts of Florida’s coastlines were eroded during warm and cold periods?
