Slow changes like weathering, erosion, and deposition are the result of moving water and ice along with -

• pressure

• heat

• tides

• wind

This image shows a canyon.

What natural force is responsible for creating this change to the Earth’s surface?

• Wind blowing

• Ice freezing

• Water moving

• Snow falling

Which of the following changes to the Earth’s surface is mostly created by moving wind?

• Deep cracks forming

• Rocks getting rounded

• Large dunes moving

• Tall mountains rising

When ice forms, it causes weathering by -

• holding water

• lifting sediment

• cooling wind

• breaking rocks

Stalagmites are cave structures that are formed by the movement of water and the buildup of minerals. How might water be able to create stalagmites?

• Freezing water can expand and push minerals

• Moving water can carry minerals away from caves

• Water that drips slowly can leave minerals behind

• Condensation of water vapor can destroy minerals
