2. These high landforms with fairly flat surfaces can be found at the tops of canyons and can extend for miles on either side

3. What are plateaus?

4. They connect points on a map that have the same elevations

5. What are contour lines?

6. The Earth’s rocky outer layer

7. What is the Crust?

8. A map that shows the shape of surface features and their elevations (heights) above sea level

9. What is a topographic map?

10. If you were on land, where would you be able to walk to find salt water; be specific

11. What are coastlines or beaches?

12. The two types of weathering

13. What are chemical and mechanical?

14. The breaking of larger rocks into smaller pieces of rock are called

15. What are sediments?

16. Three causes of mechanical weathering

17. What is wind, plant roots, freezing water, moving water, animals that burrow, expanding and contracting due to temp.?

18. Tell me how a cave is formed

19. What is acidic water dissolving minerals in rocks and creates pockets known as caves?

20. This is the main factor that causes chemical weathering

21. What is chemical weathering?

22. Erosion is an example of what kind of force

23. What is a destructive force?

24. The carrying away of sediments by moving water, wind, or moving ice

25. What is the erosion?

26. Frozen water that wears down and shapes the Earth’s surface

27. What are glaciers?

28. Ocean waves do this during erosion

29. What is break down rocks on coastlines and sediments are dragged back and forth?

30. This happens when soil gives out on a steep slope due to gravity and water; i.e. California

31. What are landslides?

32. The dropping of, or releasing, of sediments that have moved from one place to another

33. What is deposition?

34. Put these in correct order from start to finish
The river meanders across the flat plains
Forms a delta
Picks up sediments
Water flows swiftly downhill

35. 1. River flows swiftly downhill 2. Picks up sediments 3
1. River flows swiftly downhill 2. Picks up sediments 3. River meanders over flat plains 4. Forms a delta

36. Melted rock that is under the Earth’s surface

37. What is magma?

38. Deposition has this kind of force, meaning building up

39. What is a constructive force?

40. Melted rock from a volcano that is on the Earth’s surface

41. What is hot lava?

43. What is mechanical weathering?
