They can carry sediment that can damage streets. They may add nutrients that help plants grow. They form above the ocean. 3 / 20 A cliff formed near the ocean. Which statement best describes how this cliff formed? Sun rays evaporated the rock. Plant roots pushed away the rock. Ocean waves washed away rock. Warm air melted the rock. 4 / 20 Hurricanes develop in ________ regions. Arctic Tropical Arid None of the above 5 / 20 What is Erosion? An area of land that smells different to other places. The wearing away of land, removal of beach rocks/sand by water or wind. When waves lose energy and leave sediments / sand along a coast. An area that has a lot of wind. 6 / 20 Over long periods of time, deposition may change the Earth’s surface by _____. breaking down large rocks into smaller ones. washing away beaches. forming new land features. moving topsoil. 7 / 20 The process by which small pieces of rocks and soil are carried away to new locations is called... weathering deposition erosion faults 8 / 20 What is Deposition? When waves lose energy and leave sediments / sand along a coast. The wearing away of land, removal of beach rocks/sand by water or wind. An area of land that smells different to other places. An area that has a lot of wind. 9 / 20 What causes damage in a hurricane? Flooding Storm Surge Winds All 10 / 20 When temperatures repeatedly go from hot to cold this can cause what type of geological process? All weathering deposition erosion 11 / 20 What is weathering? the process by which wind, water, ice or gravity transport weathered materials from one location to another occurs when the eroded materials are dropped or laid down fragments of weathering rocks the process by which rock materials are broken down by the action of physical and chemical process 12 / 20 What might have caused mud to cover the land? flood erupt volcano earthquake 13 / 20 Eroded materials are called _______________________. constructive glaciers chemical weathering sediments 14 / 20 Which of the following describes how floods and hurricanes are alike? They both increase the air temperature. They both change the land. They both create rivers. They both occur in oceans. 15 / 20 What are glaciers? They are winding rivers that carry sediment to a delta They are huge masses of ice that move slowly over land. They are waves that constantly crash against the shoreline. They are sand dunes that form from wind depositing sediments. 16 / 20 Which of these is an example of erosion? Light shining onto a mountain. Rain breaking down rocks on a mountain into smaller pieces. Wind blowing away sediment to a new place on the mountain. All 17 / 20 Where would you expect to find glacial debris? at the uphill end of the glacier at the terminus of the glacier where the glacier forms at the middle of the glacier 18 / 20 How is the formation of the Horseshoe Bend similar to that of the glacier? Both form slowly. Both form in the same places. Both are formed by river flow. 19 / 20 During a hurricane, what affect can the ocean have on the beach? The ocean always cleans litter from the beach during a hurricane. Only the rain from a hurricane affects the land. Only the wind from a hurricane affects the land. The ocean can wash away much of the beach in a short time. 20 / 20 Which of the following BEST explains how hurricanes and floods are related? Hurricanes occur before floods and storm surges reach land. Hurricanes occur after floods and storm surges reach land. Hurricanes cause less damage than floods. Hurricanes can cause storm surges that lead to floods. Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
