Weathering and Erosion 4th Grade Your teacher filled a box with sand, She put a fan at one end and turned the fan on, The sand was blown to the opposite side of the box and collected at that side. What processes was the teacher demonstrating? Erosion and deposition B] Chemical and mechanical weathering Weathering and deposition D] Weathering and erosion As you were climbing a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What 2 processes did you observe? Abrasion and ice wedging B)_ Erosion and deposition Abrasion and chemical weathering [D| Weathering and erosion Which would most likely increase the erosion caused by a stream? Increased Evaporation B) Increased Rainfall Decreased animal life D| Decreased temperature Many processes that shape Earth happen over thousands of years. Some processes happen much more quickly. Which of the following has the potential to change Earth's landforms quickly? The weathering of rocks by wind B] The formation of a canyon by a river The carving of a valley by a glacier) _The erosion of sand on a beach by storms Dalton noticed that recent rain had loosened up the dirt in his backyard. As a result, much of the dirt had moved around. There were holes and mounds where the dirt had been level before. This is an example of which of the following? ‘An earthquake B) Amudslide Weathering D| Erosion nitpsslquizizz.comiprintquiSc87fe4862 1288001634725 580701/23, 6:13 PM 28. 29. 30. Weathering and Erosion 4th Grade Ricky created a model of a glacier to help explain how glaciers change the surface of Earth. He froze two large blocks of ice. One block was pure water. The other was water mixed with sand and rocks. He took both blocks and rubbed them across a sheet of tinfoil. The block of pure water slid smoothly over the tinfoil. The block with sand and rocks ripped the tinfoil in many places. How does Ricky's model explain how glaciers change Earth's surface? Pure glaciers and glaciers that contain rocks and sand affect the Earth in B exactly the same way. The water in pure glaciers cools Earth's surface. D The rocks and sand contained in some glaciers fill the grooves in Earth's surface. The rocks and sand contained in most glaciers create grooves in Earth's surface. Which type of stream is most likely to cause the greatest amount of erosion? Aslow moving stream with a large amount of water. Aslowly moving stream with a small amount of water. Aquickly moving stream with a small amount of water. Aquickly moving stream with a large amount of water. On a recent field trip to a local river, the science class collected several rocks from the river bed. The rocks were all smooth and rounded. Why were the rocks in the river bed smooth? The minerals from which the rocks are made cannot form jagged edges. B Over centuries, the action of the wind caused the rocks to become smooth. nitpssiquizizz.comiprintquiSe87Ied862 2880016347258 Plants along the river released substances that mixed with the water to ‘smooth the rocks. Rushing water in the river wore away any jagged edges 68
