5.7(B) Land Formation with Water

How do stability and change affect the Earth?

• They have no effect on the Earth.

• They only affect the Earth's atmosphere.

• They influence the formation and alteration of landforms.

• They only affect the Earth's core.

How does flowing water create landforms?

• By freezing and thawing

• By eroding soil and rocks and transporting them downstream

• By volcanic activity

• By tectonic plate movement

What is the difference between transportation and erosion in the context of landform creation?

• Transportation involves the breaking down of rocks, while erosion involves the movement of rocks.

• Transportation involves the movement of Earth material, while erosion involves the breaking down and moving of rocks and soil.

• Transportation involves the formation of new rocks, while erosion involves the deposition of rocks.

• Transportation involves the creation of landforms, while erosion involves the weathering of rocks.

What are some benefits of using a model to study how water can change the surface of the Earth?

• It allows us to see changes quickly and observe weathering, erosion, and deposition

• It shows the exact same processes that occur in the real world

• It uses real soil and rock

• It does not require any predictions

How can knowing about how water causes change to the Earth's surface be beneficial when determining the best site to build a TarPul?

• It helps predict how the land can change and consider safer options when choosing where to build.

• It helps identify the best materials to use for construction.

• It helps determine the cost of building the TarPul.

• It helps decide the color and design of the TarPul.
