4. True/False: Weather, Erosion, and Morphing act together in a cycle that wears down and builds up Earth’s surface. A 100

5. False- Not morphing, Deposition A 100

6. What are the 5 agents of erosion? A 200

7. Gravity, Running Water, Glaciers, Wave and Wind A 200

8. What is a mass movement? How many are there? Name Each A 300

9. Any one of several processes that move sediment downhill There are 4 mass movements Landslides, mudflows, slumps and creep A 300

10. Describe each mass movement A 400

11. Landslide- Most destructive kind of mass movement. Rock and soil slide quickly down a steep slope Mudflow- Rapid downhill movement of a mixture of rock, water and soil Slump- mass of rock and soil suddenly slip to down a slope Creep-Very slow downhill movement of rock and soil A 400

12. How does weathering, erosion and deposition wear down and build up the Earth’s surface? A 500

13. Weathering and Erosion break down the Earth. Deposition builds up the Earth A 500

14. What is Gravity? B 100

15. Force that moves rock and other materials downhill. B 100

16. What is Runoff? B 200

17. Runoff is water that moves over Earth’s surface B 200

18. What are rills and gullies? B 300

19. Rill- groove in the soil Gully- Large groove or channel in the soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm B 300

20. What is a flood plain and how are people affected who live in a flood plain? B 400

21. Flood plain is a flat, wide area of land around a river B 400

22. What are Streams, Rivers and Tributaries? B 500

23. Stream- Channel along which water is continually flowing down a slope River- Often called a large stream Tributary- A stream or river that flows into a larger river B 500

24. What is the major agent of erosion? C 100

25. Moving Water C 100

26. True/False: More runoff means more erosion C 200

27. True C 200

28. Would a drain or parking lot have more runoff? Why? C 300

29. A parking lot because there is nowhere for the water to go. So it continues to move and erode what it can C 300

30. DAILY DOUBLE DAILY DOUBLE Place A Wager C 400

31. Describe why the amount of rain an area receives, the type of soil, and vegetation affect runoff. C 400

32. Certain trees and plants absorb water and hold soil in place The less rain the less runoff. The more rain the more runoff Some type of soils absorb more water than others C 400

33. Through erosion what does a river create? C 500

34. Waterfalls, valleys, flood plains, meanders and oxbow lakes C 500

35. What does a meandering river look like? D 100

36. A snake D 100

37. What is kinetic and potential energy? D 200

38. Potential energy- stored energy Kinetic energy- Energy of motion D 200

39. True/False: A landslide is when mud, soil and rock slide rapidly down a hill. D 300

40. False. Mudflow. D 300

41. What condition is necessary for a glacier to form? D 400

42. Extremely cold temperatures D 400

43. How do the agents of erosion affect deposition? D 500

44. They affect deposition differently by depositing sediments in different way and in different places D 500

45. How does wind affect erosion? E 100

46. Wind blows sediments around and deposits them elsewhere E 100

47. How do Waves affect erosion? E 200

48. Waves shape the coast by breaking down rock and transferring sand and other sediments E 200

49. True/False: The energy in waves comes from wind that blows across the water’s surface E 300

50. True E 300
