- Q6Josh read about a land animal whose fossils were found in similar rock layers in Africa and South America. What can he conclude from this discovery?Animal fossils all look alikethe animals swam across the oceanthe landmasses were once joined.The fossils formed in an ocean and washed ashore.60s

- Q8Which statement best describes how landforms are the result of changes to Earth's surface?A sand dune is a fan shaped feature that forms when ice weather rocks.A moraine is a ridge that forms when a glacier deposits soil, rocks, and sand.A delta is a hill that forms when water erodes and deposits soilA canyon is a steep sided valley that forms when wind deposits large sized sediments.60s
- Q9Suppose you found fossils of sharks and other fish in a nearby forest. What could you infer about the history of the area from these discoveries.the area was once a desertThe area was once an oceanthe area was once covered by ice.The area was once a valley60s
- Q10Emili wants to model a type of physical weathering, which takes place over long periods of time and can be difficult to directly observe. Which would make the best model?drop weak acids on a rock to wear it awayDrop a pile of silt on the ground and measure its height.Hit a rock with a hammer to break it apartPour water over a pile of sand to carry the sand away.60s

- Q12The picture shows a fast moving stream. What will most likely happen to this stream over time?It will become deeper because of depositionIt will become narrower because of chemical weathering.It will widen because of erosionIt dry up because of physical weathering.60s
