Question

Which does erosion do?

A.
moves bits of rock and soil

B.
breaks rocks apart

C.
forms rocks

D.
cements sediments

Answer 1

I'd have to go with B. The Grand Canyon was formed by erosion. The erosion didn't "move rocks and soil" or "form rocks". No. Erosion broke rocks apart and formed a path for water to flow.

Answer 2

thank you
can you help me with 5 more

Answer 3

I can try

Answer 4

Which makes fast-moving water a greater force of erosion?

A.
greater heat capacity

B.
greater energy

C.
increased density

D.
greater oxidation

Answer 5

i think A

Answer 6

Hold on, I'm checking. :)

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/28923.html

"Natural protective features (beaches, dunes and bluffs) within coastal erosion hazard areas provide buffering and protection to shorelands from erosion by absorbing the wave energy of open water." This says dunes protect against the energy. Therefore B may be the answer.

Answer 10

Which does a meandering stream create by erosion?

A.
moraine

B.
channel

C.
lake

D.
aeolian marks

Answer 11

i think C

Answer 12

http://www.enchantedlearning.com/geography/rivers/glossary.shtml

Oxbow lake

"An oxbow lake is a stagnant lake that is formed alongside a winding river when the river changes path because of soil erosion, leaving an abandoned stream channel, cut off from the rest of the river."

Channel

"channel
"A channel is an area that contains flowing water confined by banks."


Tough choice!

Answer 13

so then B

Answer 14

Personally, lake would be the better answer due to the fact it states "winding river" and "because of soil erosion". Your question asks what it creates by EROSION.

Answer 15

Though this is your choice.

Answer 16

so i had it right the first time

Answer 17

The process of deposition would make a river change in which way?

A.
more curves

B.
straighter

C.
dirtier water

D.
wider

Answer 18

i think A

Answer 19

or D

Answer 20

http://www.alevelgeography.com/?page_id=162

"Deposition is the process of eroded material being dropped. The speed of the river reduces and therefore the energy reduces, when a river has to slow down it reduces its speed (and ability to transport material) and when a river meets the sea."
The eroded material stays in the river.
C

Answer 21

but it says The process of deposition would make a river change in which way?

Answer 22

do you think its still C
im confused

Answer 23

Yes, the river could be perfectly clean, with a nice river flow. Once deposition occurs, the eroded material that is traveling in the water settles in the river and doesn't get transported. It can change the river from a clean river to a dirty river with dirty water.

Answer 24

he definition of deposition s the process in wnich rock and spoil particles move from water, wind , or ice to the land

Answer 25

Which is caused by gravity?

A.
aeolian bands

B.
mass wasting

C.
frost wedging

D.
glaciation

Answer 26

I think that's A

Answer 27

i think B

Answer 28

wait no your right its A

Answer 29

last one

Answer 30

:P

Answer 31

Which type of erosion causes unusually shaped rock formations?

A.
wind

B.
heat

C.
water

D.
ice

Answer 32

i think heat because the other choices is in the definition but just not heat so what do you think

Answer 33

are you still there helpme1999

Answer 34

Hold on

Answer 35

hey i got an idea when were done lets give both of us a medal

Answer 36

(Read the parts not in the brackets)
The second type of weathering is chemical
weathering, the breakup of rock caused by
a change in its chemical makeup. Rain is
the most common producer of chemicals
that can weather rock.

[Rain absorbs carbon
dioxide and sulfur dioxide from the
atmosphere, forming carbonic acid and
sulfuric acid, two liquids capable of
dissolving other materials. The levels of
carbonic and sulfuric acids in rain, while
generally weak, can over time dissolve rock
such as limestone, freeing other types of
rock.]

Over very long periods, rain can even
dissolve enough limestone to create caves
and unusual rock formations.

Chemical would be heat, because heat changed the atomic structure. You were right :)
