Landform Activity for review
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING EXTREME TEMPERATURE #1 A rock heats in the desert sun, cools at night, and cracks
CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION WATER (Physical) #2 A slowing stream drops its load of sediments
CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION WIND #3 Blown sand piles up along a line of trees
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING WATER (Chemical) #4 Limestone at the Inner Space Caverns in central Texas is dissolved by water
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WAVES #5 A Galveston, TX beach shrinks
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WATER (Physical) #6 A deep hole forms at the base of a waterfall
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING WATER (Phys) #7 Water seeps into a cracked brickledge, freezes, expands, and breaks apart the brick
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WIND #8 Blowing sand cuts a hole in a sandstone cliff
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WATER (Physical) #9 The Colorado River flows through the Grand Canyon
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WIND or CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION WIND #10 Strong breezes shift the position of a sand dune
CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION WATER (Physical) #11 A town is covered in mud after a flooded river returns to its banks
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION GLACIER or GRAVITY #12 A moving mass of ice plows the ground as it slides down the valley
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING WATER (Physical) #13 Ice repeatedly forms and thaws, expanding a crack in a rock
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING PLANT ACTION #14 Roots grow into a cracked rock and make crack larger
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WIND or CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION WIND #15 Soil is blown from a west Texas field and lands in east Texas (The Dust Bowl Era)
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING WATER (Chemical) #16 Water dissolves buried limestone now exposed at the surface
CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION GLACIER or GRAVITY #17 Moving ice pushes/scrapes up rock and soil as it slides down a valley
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING WIND #18 Strong breezes pick up sand and smoothen a boulder
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WAVES #19 The yard of a house on the beach becomes smaller and smaller
CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION WATER (Physical) #20 Natural levees and a delta forms at the mouth of the Mississippi River (Louisiana)
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WATER (Physical) or CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION WATER (Physical) #21 Water from a rainstorm washes loose soil from a flower bed onto the lawn
DESTRUCTIVE EROSION WATER (Physical) CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOSITION WATER (Physical) #22 A river removes soil from the outside of a curve and leaves it on the inside of a curve as it rounds the corner
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING or EROSION WATER (Physical) #23 Rock tumbling downstream are broken into smaller pieces
DESTRUCTIVE WEATHERING or EROSION WATER (Physical) #24 Rock tumbling downstream are broken into smaller pieces
