  1. Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Quiz

  2. 1. Weathering A) drops the sediments that are carried as energy is lost. B) moves surface materials from one place to another. C) breaks rock into smaller pieces such as sand, silt, and clay. D) Carries and deposits sediments over large areas.

  3. 2. Erosion A) drops the sediments that are carried as energy is lost. B) moves surface materials from one place to another. C) breaks rock into smaller pieces such as sand, silt, and clay. D) occurs when chemical reactions dissolve the minerals in rocks or change them into different minerals – changes chemical composition.

  4. 3. Deposition A) drops the sediments that are carried as energy is lost. B) moves surface materials from one place to another. C) breaks rock into smaller pieces such as sand, silt, and clay. D) occurs when chemical reactions dissolve the minerals in rocks or change them into different minerals – changes chemical composition.

  6. 5. The picture below shows _____. • Contour farming • Terracing • A delta • A river valley

  7. 6. The picture below shows ______. • Contour farming • Terracing • A delta • A river valley

  8. 7. Slump occurs • when mass of material slips down along a curved surface • when sediments slowly shift their positions downhill • when blocks of rock break loose from steep slope and tumble through the air D) when plowing removes plant cover leaving soil vulnerable to wind and water erosion

  9. 8. Which of the following is NOT a cause of soil erosion? • Overgrazing • Forest Harvesting • Urban Construction • No-till Farming

  10. 9. Which of the following are agents of mechanical weathering? 1- Plant Growth 2-Freezing and Thawing 3- Animal Action 4-Oxidation • 1, 2, and 4 • 1, 2, and 3 • 2, 3, and 4 • 1, 3, and 4

  11. 10. The picture below shows _____. • A river fork • A river valley • A sand bar • A tributary
