- Q 1/15Score 0A valley is a low area of land on Earth’s surface located between hills or mountains. Valleys may be either V-shaped or U-shaped depending on the process that formed the valley. The illustration below shows a U-shaped valley. Which process most likely shaped this V-shaped valley?29water moving along a stream or riverfreezing and thawing of groundwatera glacier scraping across the landrain pounding across Earth's surface

- Q1A valley is a low area of land on Earth’s surface located between hills or mountains. Valleys may be either V-shaped or U-shaped depending on the process that formed the valley. The illustration below shows a U-shaped valley. Which process most likely shaped this V-shaped valley?water moving along a stream or riverfreezing and thawing of groundwatera glacier scraping across the landrain pounding across Earth's surface30s
- Q2Weathering and erosion are two processes that shape Earth’s surface. Which of the following sets of factors causes both weathering and erosion?acid rain, tree roots, wavesacid rain, plants, iceglaciers, waves, windmoving water, plants, wind30s
- Q3The earth is built up and torn down in many ways. Physical and chemical weathering are processes which are very important in making soil. Which statement accurately describes an example of chemical weathering?Sinkholes are formed in central Florida as seeping water dissolves underground limestone rocksSinkholes are formed in central Florida as seeping water dissolves underground limestone rocks.Beautiful and strange rocks, shaped by blowing sand, dot the Western United States landscape.In order for rock to become metamorphic rock, it must be heated and extreme pressure applied.30s
- Q4The illustration below shows a meandering river moving toward the ocean. What most likely happens to the river in the area indicated by the arrow?The river will eventually completely fill in with soilThe river slows down as it nears the ocean and deposits silt and sediment.The river is widened by deposition.The river is narrowed by mechanical weathering caused by increased rain water30s
- Q5The rock cycle is a model of how rock is changed from one type to another. The three rocks represented are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. What has to happen in order for metamorphic rock to form sedimentary rock?The rock must be weathered then compacted.The rock must be melted by excessive heat and then solidified by cooling.Metamorphic rock does not change into sedimentary rock.Sediment must be put under pressure and heated to extreme temperatures.30s
- Q6When someone thinks about hurricanes and tropical storms, many times Florida and the southern United States come to mind. However, these strong storms can also move along the northeastern coast. People who live in these areas try to protect their homes and businesses by using sandbags. Many even build their homes above ground. There is also a natural means of flood and storm surge protection for the coastlines and inland areas. Which statement correctly identifies the landform which provides the most protection for the coast?Dunes provide protection from erosion caused by water.Rivers prevent flooding by preventing ocean water from moving inland.Deltas create a natural barrier to prevent erosion by wind.Sinkholes decrease the chance for flooding by providing a place for excess water to go.30s
- Q7Many thousands of years ago, glaciers covered large areas of Earth’s surface. Glaciers are large blocks of ice that flow slowly over the land. Portions of the ice melted and refroze many times over the years. Which explanation best describes how glaciers contributed to the formation of coastlines along Florida and other states?Water, from the melting ice, elevated the shoreline to forming plateausWater, from the melting ice, changed the shape of the coastlineWater, from the melting ice, flooded the plains causing plants to die.Water, from the melting ice, deposited sand on the ocean floor30s
- Q8Rivers played a huge part in shaping the Earth through the erosion and weathering. The St. John’s River is the largest in Florida and flows along the northeastern part of the state. How do the rivers in Florida differ from those in other areasFlorida’s rivers move much faster than those which end at the ocean.Florida’s rivers are shallower than those in mountainous regions.Florida’s rivers carry more sediment from erosion than those that flow fasterFlorida’s rivers are much deeper than those located in states further north.30s
- Q9Some landforms in Florida have different characteristics than the same type of landform in other states. Which of the following statements correctly differentiates one type of Florida landform from those in other states?Florida’s rivers do not flow into the oceans, as do other U. S. rivers.Lakes in Florida may be shallow as compared to other areas or are formed as the result of sinkholes.Dunes in Florida are larger than dunes which form in the deserts of the western United States.Mountain ranges in Florida are short in comparison to the mountain ranges in other states.30s
- Q10Which of the following BEST describes the many rivers that flow through the state of Florida?Florida’s rivers are very slow due to the flatness of the terrainFlorida’s rivers always begin at the coastline.Florida’s rivers are very swifts and cause much erosion.Florida’s rivers are very deep as a result of the force of the water rushing down mountains.30s
- Q11Which of the following is NOT one of Florida's landform regions?Central HighlandsCoastal LowlandsNorthern HighlandsNorthern Lowlands30s
- Q12What type of rock makes up the surface of Florida?granitegranitephosphatelimestone30s
- Q13What do you fill large sinkholes with?sandwatercementrocks and pebbles30s
- Q14What do you fill small sinkholes with?cementrocks and other earth materialssandwater30s
- Q15Sinkholes most often occur inCentral and Southern FlAll over FloridaNorthern and Central FLCoastal regions30s
