These images compare the same stretch of coastline. What is a possible reason for the change?

• A fire destroyed the beach and surrounding area

• Overtime, water eroded away much of the land

• A major catastrophe such as a hurricane or tsunami destroyed the area

• The beach and land went through a severe drought

Spirals show forest that has been cut down and changed into farmland. What is a possible consequence?

• More deposition of sediments in the farmland.

• Increased erosion where the forest has been cut down.

• The empty farmland will decrease the amount of soil lost to erosion.

• No change will happen since the farms also grow plants.

California: Notice the brown color to the Sacramento River on the right side picture in 2017. Why did the river in 2017 have a murky brown color?

• Increase air pollution absorbed into the water.

• The watershed is drier and has more dry sand to be blown into the river.

• High rainfall caused a greater amount of runoff. Sediments eroded in the runoff ended up in the river.

• Deposition from avalanches in the mountains are clogging the river.

The satellite image shows Rodanthe Island in North Carolina. The picture on the left is from 2012. The picture on the right was after a Hurricane Arthur in 2014. Which answer below best explains the changes to the island?

• A river delta formed a new island in 2014 from the deposition of sediments as it flowed into the ocean.

• Wind from the hurricane blew the sand from the beaches further up the beach, making a natural dam that flooded low lying parts of the island.

• Waves from the hurricane weathered and eroded a channel through a thinner part of the island

• Deposition of sand over 2 years time is making the beach wider and pushing it out into the ocean as the island gets bigger.
