Question 2: $100 A fan-shaped deposit of earth materials at the mouth of a river is called a: A. canyon B. delta C. stream D. channel

Question 2: $200 When earth materials are worn away by wind, water, or ice, it is called: A. flooding B. deposition C. erosion D. eruption

Question 2: $300 Which of the following statements about deposition is correct: (HINT: think about the vile experiment) A. Large and small particles take the same time to settle. B. Larger particles take the longest to settle. C. Smaller particles take the longest to settle. D. Sometimes larger particles take longer, sometimes smaller ones do.

Question 2: $400 A student claims that deposition causes the most change in landforms. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?

Question 3: $100 What is a the low area between hills and mountains, where a river often flows?

Question 3: $200 What is a nearly level area that is uplifted from the area around it?

Question 3: $300 The part of a river where it meets another body of water is called the _____________.

Question 3: $400 Area that is nearly level that has been eroded or where material has been deposited is called a ____________.

Question 4: $100 In a stream-table experiment, which of the following situations can increase the amount of erosion and deposition? A. use more water B. put an object in the water path C. use less water D. decrease the slope

Question 4: $200 What are 3 qualities of a well drawn map?

Question 4: $300 If a map scale is 1:1000 (1 cm = 1000 m), a 5 cm–long field has an actual length of: A. 5 m B. 50 m C. 500 m D m

Question 4: $400 What is a topographic map?

Question 5: $100 What can you tell about slope by looking at contour lines?

Question 5: $200 What is the highest point of a mountain called? The lowest?

Question 5: $300 The distance between contour lines on a topographic map is called the _____________________.

Question 5: $400 On a map of a cafeteria, what might each of these symbols represent? + +

Answer to Question 1: $100 D. a truck

Answer to Question 1: $200 A model is a 3-D representation of something where as a map is a 2-D representation of something.

Answer to Question 1: $300 They both help people to understand or learn more about the real thing.

Answer to Question 1: $400 A model, because you can witness the events that lead up to its eruption, but on a map you would just see a flat drawing.

Answer to Question 2: $100 B. delta

Answer to Question 2: $200 C. erosion

Answer to Question 2: $300 C. Smaller particles take the longest to settle. (larger particles generally weigh more and will settle rather quickly) ** Be aware of answers that contradict each other, answers that are combined, or answers that say “always” or “never”

Answer to Question 2: $400 Disagree. Deposition and erosion both cause changes in landforms. Erosion is the wearing away of material. For example, the Colorado River created the Grand Canyon through the process of erosion. Deposition is the relocating of material. For example, a delta is formed at the mouth of a river because of deposition. Or a volcano becomes taller because of the deposition of lava after it erupts. (CEI)

Answer to Question 3: $100 A valley

Answer to Question 3: $200 A plateau

Answer to Question 3: $300 Its mouth

Answer to Question 3: $400 plain

Answer to Question 4: $100 A. use more water (it would be like a flood)

Answer to Question 4: $200 Symbols used represent real life objects It is neatly drawn It represents a bird’s-eye view Contains a clearly labeled key

Answer to Question 4: $300 D m Rationale: 1 cm = 1000 m, so if you have 5 cm, that would be 1000 m (= 1 cm) 1000 m (= 1 cm) and so on 1000 m m 5000 m

Answer to Question 4: $400 A map that shows the elevation of a particular landform

Answer to Question 5: $100 The closer the contour lines, the steeper the slope (the greater the elevation)

Answer to Question 5: $200 The highest point is called the peak. The lowest point is called the base.

Answer to Question 5: $300 Contour interval

Answer to Question 5: $400 The plus signs would represent the chairs, and the long rectangle would represent the table. Maps often use symbols that resemble the real life object.
