Erosion
Science
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What type of erosion is caused by the rubbing and scraping movement of glaciers? | Ice Erosion |
| What type of erosion is caused by the force of breaking waves against the shore, which washes sand away? | Wave erosion |
| What type of erosion is caused by the action of flowing water and also by the rubbing together of rock particles as the water moves? | Running water erosion |
| What type of erosion is caused by the action of moving air and also by the rock particles present in it? | Wind Erosion |
| What do you call the act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment? | weathering |
| What do you call excess water not absorbed by the soil that flows downhill? | Runoff |
| What do you call an area of land formed by sediment at the mouth of a river? | A delta |
| What do you call water held underground in soil or rock, and often feeding springs and wells? | Ground water |
| What are particles of dirt and rock that are carried by water, wind, or ice and deposited elsewhere called? | Sediment |
| What do you call water that falls from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail? | Precipitation |
| What do you call an underground layer of rock, sand or other material through which groundwater flows? | Aquifer |
| What do you call the process by which water changes from a gas to a liquid? | Condensation |
| The gradual wearing away of rock or soil by water, wind or ice is called? | Erosion |
| When water changes from a liquid states to a gas state due to an increase in temperature is called? | Evaporation |
| What do you call the path water takes, and the changes it goes through as it cycles through the environment? | The Water Cycle |
| What do you call the gaseous state of water? | Vapor |
| What do you call the solid form of water that breaks rocks? | Glacier |
| Sand dunes are formed by this erosional force? | Wind |
| What do you call the kind of weathering that chemically changes rocks? | Chemical weathering |
| What do you call the downward rapid movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting? | Rock Slide |
| What would you call a LARGE underground opening formed by weathering and erosion? | Cavern |
| What type of force would cause rocks to fall or roll downhill? | Gravity |
| What would you call a hill of sand deposited by the wind? | Dune |
| What is a solid, inorganic matter found in the earth that breaks down when it's weathered? | Rocks |
