- Q1The image below shows Rainbow Bridge National Monument, which is located in Utah. Which statement describes a process that could have created the Rainbow Bridge National Monument?the destructive process of lava hardeningthe constructive process of lava hardeningthe destructive process of weatheringthe constructive process of weathering30sS5E1a
- Q2What natural force is most likely responsible for the formation of the narrow passage through the cliffs in the picture?Gravity moved and deposited soil.Ocean waves deposited soil.Blowing wind eroded the soil.Flowing water eroded the soil.30sS5E1a
- Q3When mountains are young, like the Rocky Mountains, they are very tall, with sharp jagged shapes. When mountains are old, they are lower and very round. The pictures below show young mountains on the left and old mountains on the right. Which of the following processes makes mountains become rounder as they age?weatheringvolcanic eruptionsdepositionmountain building30sS5E1a
- Q4The picture below shows a town that is near a steep hill. Which natural event probably caused the hill to flow into the town?a sandstorman ocean wavea landslidea snowstorm30sS5E1a
- Q5The picture below shows a river that meanders, or flows in a pattern shaped like an "s." What causes a river to meander?Fish carry soil and rock from one side of the river to the other.One side of the river receives more sunshine than the other.When water evaporates from the river, it takes soil from one river bank with it.Flowing water erodes soil from one river bank and deposits soil onto the other.30sS5E1a
- Q6New landforms are often created or destroyed by geologic processes, such as erosion and volcanoes. However, humans and animals can change landforms as well. A beaver dam can change a landform bycausing river water to move more swiftly, resulting in deepening of the riverbed.causing flooding which may result in the formation of new ponds.creating strong winds which form arches by weathering and eroding rock.causing deposition which eventually results in very tall mountains.30sS5E1a
- Q7Juanita wants to learn about the way clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries. She gets a sturdy wooden box and fills it most of the way with clay. She buries a few hard-boiled eggs in the clay. Juanita pours water into the box and lets it soak into the clay. She lets the clay dry out, then she carefully removes it from the box one layer at a time. She finds that the egg shells have all been crushed. If the eggs in Juanita's experiment represent rocks in the real world, her experiment shows how swelling clay can causeweatheringerosionfrost heaves.deposition.30sS5E1b
- Q8Jordan notices that the bottom part of a cliff is worn away. Why is the cliff worn away the most near or under the level where the water is?because changes in temperature are greater in the waterbecause the moving water is what wears away the cliffbecause fish and animals who live in the water tear up the cliffbecause the cliff is softer beneath the water line30sS5E1a
- Q9Lyle filled a glass bottle completely with water. He put the lid on tightly, then he put the water in the freezer to cool it down quickly. Lyle forgot about his water until the next day. When Lyle took his bottle out of the freezer, all the water was frozen solid. The bottle had cracked in several places and was broken. If water in the ground acts like water in the bottle when it freezes, how does water in the ground affect layers of rock and soil?all of theseIt breaks them up.It makes them larger.It rearranges them.30sS5E1a
- Q10Many materials, such as rocks, expand (get larger) when they are heated and contract (shrink) when they are cooled. This change in size can cause cracks to form and break large rocks into smaller pieces. In this example, what is caused by heating and cooling?weatheringearthquakesdecayerosion30sS5E1a
- Q11Some buildings are designed so that their bases are not directly connected to the ground. Instead, isolation bearings at such a building's base allow it to slightly move relative to the ground it rests on. Using isolation bearings is one way that engineers protect a building fromearthquakeserosionfloodingtsunamis30sS5E1c
- Q12Technological advancements, such as the wind vane, barometer, and thermometer were invented to help people forecast the weather. Many other instruments, such as weather satellites and radar, have also been created to help with weather forecasting. Advances in weather forecasting techniques contribute many important things such asthe ability to make storms change directions.the ability to change the weather.the ability to predict storms.the ability to prevent storms.30sS5E1c
- Q13Which of the following is a way that humans can prevent erosion?building highwayspaving landplanting new plants and treesmaking new buildings30sS5E1c
- Q14Many houses along the Gulf Coast are built on stilts. What purpose does this design most likely serve?It prevents the occurrence of a fire.It prevents hurricane wind damage.It provides protection during blizzards.It protects the house from flooding.30sS5E1c
