  1. Chapter 6 Review How Do Weathering and Erosion Change the Land?

  2. True or False Trees can cause the weathering of rocks. True! They can grow in their cracks.

  3. True or False Water wearing away bits of rock and soil over many years and roots of a plant slowly breaking rock into smaller pieces are examples of erosion. False!! That’s weathering! A glacier slowly moving rock and soil to a new place would be an example of erosion.

  4. True or False The scraping of pebbles against rocks in a stream is an example of weathering. True! Water and ice can weather rock!

  5. Rivers form valleys by the ____________ of rocks and soil. erosion (which is the picking up and moving of rocks and soil to a new place)

  6. A landform that is a raised area with a flat top is called a ___________ Plateau

  7. Canyon This is a picture of a _____________.

  8. This is a picture of a _________. Valley

  9. When deposition of sand happens along an ocean shore, what forms? A beach!

  10. What forms if sand is carried by wind, and then the wind slows down? Sand dunes!

  11. This is a picture of a _________. Mountain

  12. What happens to rocks when there is weathering? They ______ apart, ______ away, and __________. break, wear, dissolve

  13. In deposition, rocks and soil are ________ ________ in a new place. laid down

  14. True or False Flowing water can weather rocks and make them smooth. True!

  15. What 3 things does this picture illustrate? (Hint: we did this as a way to remember) Weathering Erosion Deposition

  16. Where can ocean water cause erosion? On a beach or along the coast because waves break rocks into pieces and carry them somewhere else.

  17. The word deposition has the word deposit in it. When you deposit something, you drop it off or leave it behind. What does it mean when there has been deposition of rocks? The rocks have been dropped and left behind.

  18. The dropping of materials as a glacier melts, or a river slows down, or as wind dies down are examples of ________________. deposition

  19. Mountains are like plateaus because they are both ________. raised areas

  20. Study your book, notes, and worksheets, too!!! Good luck!
