TEST LITHOSPHERE This is a 20 question, multiple- choice assessment. There is only one correct answer for each question.

Q 1 The most accurate definition of the term EROSION is;- The dropping of rock material which has been worn down. The removal of rock material which has been worn down. The wearing down and removal of rocks. The wearing down of rocks.

Q 2 TWO forms of glacial erosion are;- Plucking and abrasion Weathering and plucking. Weathering and abrasion. Plucking and deposition.

Q 3 TWO areas of upland glaciated landscapes are;- Cairngorm mountains and Yorkshire Dales. Yorkshire Dales and Lake District. Lake District and Cairngorm mountains. Dorset Coast and Yorkshire Dales.

Q 4 Features of glaciated upland landscapes include;- U-shaped valleys, corries, truncated spurs and tombolos. Aretes, u-shaped valleys, pyramidal peaks and hanging valleys. Corries, hanging valleys, clints and aretes. Dry valleys, caves, clints and aretes.

Q 5 A truncated spur is;- Land which once projected out from a valley but is now a rough and uneven cliff. Land which once was rough and uneven but now projects out from a valley. Land which has been created from glacial debris. A low mound of moraine on the valley floor.

Q 6 An example of an arete in the Lake District is;- Striding Edge. Corrie Cas. Helvellyn. Red Tarn.

Q 7 The upland feature formed by a smaller glacier having less erosive power than a bigger glacier is;- An arete. A truncated spur. A corrie. A hanging valley.

Q 8 Roots working into rocks, growing and cracking the rock is an example of;- Exfoliation. Chemical weathering. Biotic weathering. Erosion.

Q 9 Scree is;- A large rock broken up due to the burrowing of animals. Loose rocks broken from the side of a hill by freeze-thaw action. A long, egg-shaped hummock formed by glacial deposition. A long ridge of rocks at the end of a glacier.

Q10 Rocks which allow water to pass through their joints are called ;- Porous. Permeable. Impermeable. D.Impervious.

Q11 Solution and carbonation are examples of;- Erosion. Chemical weathering. Biotic weathering. Mechanical weathering.

Q12 A Carboniferous limestone landscape is largely the result of;- Mechanical weathering. Erosion . Biotic weathering. Chemical weathering.

Q13 X =a flat block of carboniferous limestone rock Y =a wide joint between blocks of carboniferous limestone rock Z =a collapsed cavern X is a Grike, Y is a gorge, Z is a clint. X is a gorge, Y is a grike, Z is a clint. X is a clint, Y is a grike, Z is a gorge. X is a gorge,Y is a clint, Z is a grike

Q14 Dry valleys in areas of carboniferous limestone are usually;- Dry all year, even if a wet year. Wet all year, even if a dry year. U=shaped. Wet during the winter and dry during the summer.

Q15 A coastline of erosion includes;- Cliffs, caves and beaches. Caves, arches and stacks. Spits and bars. Arches and beaches.

Q16 X is a stack, Y is a arch, Z is a headland. B. Y is a stack, X is a arch,Z is a headland. C. Z is a stack, Y is a arch, X is a headland. D. X is a stack, Z is a arch, Y is a headland.

Q17 The coast in the figure was caused by;- Differential erosion. Differential deposition. Differential weathering. Differential transportation.

Q18 The movement of sand and gravel along the coastline is called;- Abrasion . Hydraulic action. Longshore drift. Attrition .

Q19 The fetch of a wave is;- The height of the wave. The amount of sand and gravel a wave carries. The length of a wave. The distance a wave travels before reaching land.

Q20 Attrition is where;- Rocks are dissolved by seawater. Waves throw rock particles against the face of a cliff. Air in a crack in the cliff is compressed then released. Stones rub against each other to become more rounded.

Now… CHECK your work is named and unambiguous. Hand it in to the tray. Sit quietly until the test is finished.
