• New crust

What is probably true looking at these fossil layers in rock?

• The oldest layer was an aquatic (water) ecosystem

• The dinosaurs at the bottom are the youngest fossils shown

• These layers probably took 5 to 10 years to form

• The most recent (youngest) layer was an aquatic (water) ecosystem.

Over time, some ocean cliffs disappear, and the shoreline moves inland. Which earth processes MOST LIKELY cause these actions?

• earthquake

• weathering and erosion

• deposition

• volcanic eruption

How can weathering and erosion change the shape mountains and rocks?

• Make them sharp and jagged

• Make them smoother and more rounded

• Could never change them

• Change them into metamorphic rock

How do storm drains help prevent flooding?

• they act like levees

• they move storm water to dams

• they block storm water from streets and houses

• they allow storm water to flow into nearby waterways

Deposition is a process that

• breaks down rock

• builds mountains

• drops rock particles in new places

• moves rock particles to new places

Which landforms may develop as a result of volcanic eruptions?

• cliffs

• deltas

• mountains

• floodplains
