  1. Weathering and Erosion Review

  2. Double Jeopardy Jeopardy Round 1

  3. Answer: These are the physical features on the Earth’s surface. (Examples: mountains and valleys) What are landforms? The Changing Earth$100

  4. Answer: This is the process of breaking rock into smaller pieces. What is weathering? The Changing Earth$200

  5. What is sediment? Answer: During the process of weathering, rock is broken into smaller pieces called this. The Changing Earth$300

  6. Answer: This is the process of moving sediment from one place to another. What is erosion? The Changing Earth$400

  7. Answer: This is the process of dropping sediment in a new location. What is deposition? The Changing Earth$500

  8. Answer: Water, wind, ice, and plant roots are all agents of this. What is weathering? WED?$100

  9. Answer: Water, wind, glaciers, and gravity are all agents of this. What is erosion? WED?$200

  10. Answer: Rain washing away soil from a hillside is an example of this. (WED?) What is erosion? WED?$300

  11. Answer: Waves dropping sand on the beach is an example of this. (WED?) What is deposition? More Layers $400

  12. Answer: Acid rain dissolving the surface of rocks is an example of this. (WED?) What is weathering? More Layers$500

  13. Answer: This is the downhill movement of rock and soil due to gravity. What is mass movement? Erosion$100

  14. Answer: This is the movement of wet soil downhill due to gravity. What are mudslides? Erosion$200

  15. Answer: This is the downhill movement of dry soil due to gravity. What are landslides? Erosion$300

  16. Answer: This occurs when soil moves slowly downhill due to gravity. What is creep? Erosion$400

  17. Answer: These can slowly move sediment on the ocean floor to form terminal moraines. What are glaciers? Erosion$500

  18. Answer: Water getting into cracks of rocks, freezing, and breaking the rocks apart is an example of this. (WED?) What is weathering? More WED?$100

  19. Answer: Wind blowing sand from one location to another is an example of this. (WED?) What is erosion? More WED? $200

  20. Answer: Wind blasting sand at rock and carving out arches is an example of this. (WED?) What is weathering? More WED?$300

  21. Answer: Wind dropping sand to form sand dunes is an example of this. (WED?) What is deposition? More WED?$400

  22. Answer: Deltas forming at the mouths of rivers is an example of this. (WED?) What is deposition? More WED?$500

  23. Answer: This type of soil can be blown away easily by a gust of wind. (wet, dry, or covered with grass) What is the dry soil? Miscellaneous$100

  24. Answer: This occurs when people build roads, houses, and parking lots. What is erosion? (or What is the erosion of soil?) Miscellaneous $200

  25. Answer: This results when an ocean breaks pebbles into smaller and smaller pieces. What is sand or a sandy beach? Miscellaneous $300

  26. Answer: This is a landform that is formed at the mouth of a river from the deposition of sediment. What are deltas? Miscellaneous $400

  27. Answer: What type of rock is formed when bits of sediments are cemented together over time? What is sedimentary rock? Miscellaneous $500

  28. Final Jeopardy Double Jeopardy! (4th Grade Review)

  31. Answer: These are fluffy, white clouds with flat bottoms. What are cumulus clouds? Earth and Space$600

  32. Answer: These are smooth, gray clouds that cover the whole sky. What are stratus clouds? Earth and Space$800

  33. Answer: What is a barometer? Earth and Space$1000

  34. Answer: These scientists gather data by using a variety of instruments. What are meteorologists? Weather Measurements$200

  35. Answer: This instrument is used to measure air pressure. What is a barometer? Weather Measurements$400

  36. Answer: This instrument measures the temperature of the air. What is a thermometer? Weather Measurements$600

  38. Answer: This instrument measures the amount of precipitation. What is a rain gauge? Weather Measurements$1000

  39. Final Jeopardy! Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Make your bid!!

  40. There are four main natural agents (causes) of erosion. Name 3 of them.

  41. You must have 3 of the following:1. water (rainfall and rivers can carry sediment to other places)2. wind (wind can pick up and move small rock material)3. glaciers (glaciers slowly move the sediment on the ocean floor)4. gravity (gravity can cause mass movement)
