Slow Land Changes

To break the Earth's surface into pieces is 

• deposition
• erosion
• glacier
• weathering

To move broken pieces to a new area is

• deposition
• erosion
• glacier
• weathering

Frozen water that moves slowly to change Earth's surface is

• deposition
• erosion
• glacier
• weathering

The piling of sediment in a new area is 

• deposition
• erosion
• glacier
• weathering

If wind blows across a sand dune, the sand dune would

• get bigger as sand blows away
• get smaller as sand blows away
• sink down as sand blows away
• get wet as the wind blows

If water drips on a rock, you could expect 

• the rock to melt
• pieces of dirt to mix in with the water and run to the bottom of the rock due to erosion
• the rock to enlarge
• the rock to explode as it breaks apart

When ocean waves crash against rocks, 

• the rocks will melt
• the rocks will explode as the waves hit them
• pieces of the rock may break off due to weathering
• the rocks will move to another quieter location

What would you expect to happen to the rocks in a fast-moving river?

• They get bigger
• They get smoother
• They get rougher
• They get heavier

Water is flowing underground for millions of years. Eventually it carries away minerals, leaving a large empty space. What does that process create?

• Caves 
• Volcanoes
• Oceans
• Rivers

Heavy rains fall on a farm for several months. What might the farmer notice as a result? 

• An increase in soil due to deposition
• A decrease in soil due to erosion
• an increase in temperatures due to weathering
