5. Water chemically breaks down rock because
water expands when it freezes.
materials dissolved in the water are deposited someplace else.
acids in the water react with substances in the rock.
water is not affected by wind.

6. The removal of sediments and soil and depositing them someplace else is
oxidation
leaching.
erosion.
weathering.

7. A mushroom is an example of a structure in
the hydrosphere.
the geosphere.

the biosphere.

8. Beaches and sandbars are formed by
wind.
waves.
glaciers.
frost action.

9. The layer of rock beneath the soil is called
bedrock.
humus.
topsoil.
subsoil.

10. Products of weathering are called

sediments.

11. Which of the following could cause islands to form?
exfoliation.
volcanic eruption.
precipitation.
abrasion.

12. Which of the following is an everyday example of chemical weathering?
Running water causes gullies to form in a farmer’s field.
Ice forms in a crack in a rock and makes the crack larger.
Weak acids in rain react with a limestone rock.
A melting glacier creates a lake called a “tarn.”

13. Dr. Smith created this pie chart during a study of a loam soil in Kentucky.
Based on the chart, which of the following is true?
Loam contains more silt than sand.
Only about 9% of loam’s composition is beneficial to plants.
Over 50% of loam is made of clay.
Most of loam is made of decayed organic matter.

14. Rainfall in a state changed from 50 inches a year to 10 inches a year
Rainfall in a state changed from 50 inches a year to 10 inches a year. What would probably happen to the rate of chemical weathering?
It would increase slightly.
It would stay the same.
It would double.
It would decrease.

15. Weathered outer surface of the rock
Unweathered inner surface of the rock
The picture above shows the process of chemical weathering that can cause color changes in rocks in Kentucky. What is this process called?
root pry
oxidation
faulting
ice wedging

16. Frost action and exfoliation occur because
water enters a crack in a rock.
water expands when it freezes.
carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid.
water is a neutral substance.

living organisms
wind
humus
gravity

18. What kind of chemical usually causes chemical weathering?
base
neutral
carbon
acid

19. What is the evidence that abrasion is a physical change of matter?
gas is produced
size & shape change
energy is released
state of matter changes
