What would you expect to increase after a forest fire?

• an increase in weathering due to the increase in plant's roots holding dirt in place

• an increase in erosion due to the lack of plant's roots holding dirt in place

• an increase in deposition due to the increase in rainfall

• an increase in erosion due to global warming

What is the elevation of Point B?

What is the highest possible elevation of this peak?

How would expect this feature to change over time?

• The crater will continue to deepen as water erodes the rim.

• The crater will fill as wind deposits sediments inside the crater.

• The crater will continue to deepen as wind weathers the rocks inside the crater.

• The crater will fill as water weathers the sediments outside the crater.

The arrow is pointed to a channel between two barrier islands. If a hurricane hit this area, how might the channel change?

• The channel would become deeper as the waves move sand into the channel.

• The channel would become shallower as the waves move sand into the channel.

• The channel would not change because hurricane force winds and waves have no effect on coastal areas.

What caused the elevation to increase from Point A' to Point B' after Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980?
