  7. Question 6 The Earth’s surface is constantly changing. All of the following are examples of erosion except… a The wind in the desert blows sand. b A glacier picks up boulders as it moves. c A flood washes over a riverbank, and the water carries small soil particles downstream. d An icy winter causes the pavement in a road to crack.

  8. Question 7 Organisms have lived on Earth for more than a billion years. During that time plant and animal organisms and the environment have changed many times. The remains or imprints of those plants and animals can become a igneous rocks. b soil. c fossils. d rock cycle.

  9. Question 8 This rock was brought to school. The class found fossils of water plants and shells in the rock.

  10. Question 9 Rocks and minerals may be identified by their components and/or physical properties. Which set of properties describe a rock? a layers, visible grains, grains rub off easily b luster, hardness, color c hardness, streak, visible grains d color, streak

  11. Question 10 As part of the rock cycle, weathering breaks existing rock into tiny particles. Erosion moves rock particles to other places where it is a deposited. b transported. c changed. d reused.

  12. Question 11 The Earth’s surface can change rapidly or slowly. Which of these can happen when rocks and soil in the Earth move suddenly? a tornado b hurricane c landslide d blizzard
