Day 6 - 5th Grade Science STAAR Review

This was likely the result of:

• wind

• rain

• glaciers

• volcanic activity

The Grand Canyon was formed by:

• weathering over time from wind

• erosion from the flow of water

• the movement of glaciers

• nearby volcanoes

This landform is found in the desert. It was most likely formed by:

• weathering over time from wind

• erosion from the flow of water

• the movement of glacciers

• lava from nearby volcanoes

Look at the pictures in questions #1, #2, and #3 on this page, What conclusion can you reach about these landforms?

• They were formed quickly from weathering and erosion.

• All the rocks are igneous rocks.

• Glacier erosion is the most common type of erosion.

• These landforms were formed over long periods of time.

Deltas are triangular shaped sand landforms at the mouths of rivers and streams. How are deltas formed?

• Sediments from eroded rock in the water are deposited when the flow of water decreases.

• The wind blows sand into the water from nearby beaches.

• Volcanic lava flows pushed the sand and sediments into the river.

• The flow of water comes in contact with the beach and shapes the san into a triangular form.

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• Weather is the day-to-day conditions and climate is the general trend over several years.

• Climate is based only on the daily change in temperature.

• Climate never changes and weather alsays changes.

• Weather is impossible to predict but we can predict climate with accuracy.

What is occurring at point 3 in the diagram?

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

• water run off

In the diagram from question #7, which point provides the energy source for the water cycle?

• Point 1

• Point 2

• Point 4

• Point 5

Which phase will she observe on Night 15?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Which property is most important when choosing a soil from the local gardening store to grow tomato plants?

• color of the soil

• ability to retain water

• temperature of the soil

• where the soil came from
