Which of the following processes is NOT considered a rapid change to Earth's Surface?

• Volcanic Eruption

• Earthquake

• Landslide

• Weathering

The table shows how wind, water, and ice change Earth's Surface.

Which landform was most likely formed by the slow movement of glaciers?

• Aeolian arch

• river delta

• V-shaped valley

• U-shaped

The process in which rock is broken down into smaller pieces is--

• erosion

• weathering

• deposition

• compaction

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

When water enters the cracks in a large rock and freezes, the water expands. Over time, water freezing and thrawing --

• erodes the large rock through a river

• weathers the rock into sediments

• deposits lava in a new place

• changes the rock into a glacier

The images show a river delta and sand dunes.

Which statement best explains how the formation of deltas and sand dunes is similar?

• Both are formed by the movement of glaciers

• Both are formed by water eroding sediment

• Both are formed by wind weather rocks

• Both are formed by deposition of sediment

Which pair of landforms are the result of the same agent of change?

• a canyon and V-shaped valley

• a u-shaped valley and delta

• a sand dune and cave

• a delta and sand dune
