The dropping off or depositing of rocks
The Breaking down of rocks
The spreading of rock sediments
What is erosion?
The moving of broken down rocks
The dropping off or depositing of rocks
The Breaking down of rocks.
The spreading of rock sediments.
What is deposition?
The moving of broken down rocks
The dropping off or depositing of rocks
The Breaking down of rocks.
The spreading of rock sediments.
What are the types of weathering?
Fake and real
There is only one type
Physical and chemical
Cheesy and Salty
Ice forms in a crack and makes the rock split. This is an example of:
Chemical Weathering
Physical Weathering
Erosion
Deposition
Which of the following is true of glaciers?
They all move
They never melt
They sometimes melt
They are only found in Antarctica
What type of rock can turn into a metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary
Igneous
Both A&B
All types or kinds of rock
Where do most metamorphic rocks form, and how do they form?
Deep underground; Immense pressure and cooling
Deep underground; Immense pressure and heat
In the core; Immense pressure and heat
In the core; Immense pressure and cooling
Which of the following provides evidence that glaciers once covered an area?
U-shaped valleys?
Hoodoos
Underground caves
Ice with white hair
A kettle lake can form when:
When ur mum sits on the ground
When a glacier leaves behind a chunk of ice
When water fills a hole and it gets bigger
How do we know volcanic activity, the location of earthquakes and the rock cycle?
Because the theory of plate tectonics
Because somebody once told me...
Which of the following are formed by erosion?
Cirques and aretes
Kettle lakes and erratics
Floodplains and deltas
Beaches and sand bars
True or False: Alpine glaciers differ from continental glaciers because Alpine glaciers form in mountainous areas, and continental glaciers form on flat land andContinental glaciers are typically bigger than alpine glaciers.
False
True
These landforms are created by erosion by water... True or False? Canyons, Valleys, Caves, Cliffs, Sea arches, U-shaped valleys
True
False
These landforms are created by deposition by water... True or False? Floodplains, Deltas,Alluvial fans, Oxbow lakes, Beaches, Sea Arches
False
True
Features created through erosion by glaciers:
Cirques, Arete, Horn, U-shaped valley, Waterfall
Floodplain Delta Alluvial fan Oxbow lake Beaches
Canyons Valleys Caves Cliffs Sea arches U-shaped valleys
Erratics Kettle Lakes Moraines
Features created through deposition by glaciers:
Landslide Rockfall Mudflow Creep
Erratics Kettle Lakes Moraines
Cirques Arete Horn U-shaped valley Waterfall
Floodplain Delta Alluvial fan Oxbow lake Beaches
Ways that gravity can shape earth’s surface:
Erratics Kettle Lakes Moraines
Cirques Arete Horn U-shaped valley Waterfall
Landslide Rockfall Mudflow Creep
Floodplain Delta Alluvial fan Oxbow lake Beaches
True or False?: Abrasion is when small rock particles (sand) get blown by the wind and scrape against larger rocks and wear them down
True
False
These aren't the causes of physical weathering: water, temperature change, pressure change, plant/animal actions, wind, gravity, ice wedging. True or False?
True
False
How is chemical weathering different from physical weathering?
Chemical weathering changes the rock’s composition and physical weathering actually changes the shape. For example, acid changes the rock’s composition and ice wedging breaks the rock into pieces
They are the same
Chemical changes look, physical changes composition
Chemical weathering changes the rock’s composition and physical weathering actually changes the shape. For example, acid changes the rock’s composition and ice wedging breaks the rock into pieces
These aren't the Causes of chemical weathering: oxygen, acid precipitation, acid in groundwater, acids in living things. True or False?
False
True
How do Sedimentary rocks form?
When minerals that form from solutions or sediment from older rock get pressed and cemented together.
Other rocks are squished together
How do Metamorphic rocks form?
When pressure, temperature or chemical processes change existing rock. Metamorphic rock can be changed in the following ways: pressure, temperature and pressure combined, and fluids or other chemicals.
When rocks morph on the surface of Earth
Basalt, granite, gabbro, pumice, obsidian: These are all types of what rock?
Igneous rock
Sedimentary Rock
Metamorphic Rock
