How do volcanoes form islands?

• Volcanic eruptions cause sea levels to rise.

• Ash from a volcano becomes soil when

• Many volcanoes join together to form a flat piece of land.

• Layers of lava build up over time and appear above water.

Breaking down rocks through interactions between Earth’s systems is called

• weathering

• erosion

• deposition

• sediments

Deposition occurs at a river bend because

• the water slows down

• the water speeds up

• the water changes direction

• the water goes onto the soil

Soil forms fastest in these conditions:

• dry

  cold

• dry

  warm

• wet

  cold

• wet

  warm

Which two are formed by wind and water weathering rock?

• 1, 3

• 2, 3

• 3, 4

• 1, 4

How does a big waterfall change over time?

• The rim (edge) gets smaller

• The rim (edge) moves

  backwards upstream

• The rim (edge) moves

  forwards downstream

• It doesn't change

How do Earth systems interact to change a horseshoe waterfall?

• Water moving across the geosphere sinks down into the rock, causing the river to become

  shallower.

• Water moving across the geosphere fills in the holes that were already there, but the rocks do not

  move.

• Water moving across the biosphere carries sediment that builds up on the edge of the waterfall,

  causing the hydrosphere to move in a new direc(on.

• Water moving across the geosphere slowly weathers and erodes the rim of the waterfall, causing it

  to change shape.

Which feature is LEAST important when designing a model of how a waterfall will change over time?

• The type of rock around the rim

• The animals and plants at the bottom of the waterfall

• The amount of sediment carried over the fall

• The amount of water flowing over the rim
