Froggy Jumps Chapter 7Online version Earth Science by Georges Tchagah 1 What is a glacier? a A glacier is a thick ice mass that moves slowly over theland surface. b A large body of saltwater that covers most of the Earth's surface. c A vast, hot desert region characterized by sand dunes and minimal rainfall. 2 What is an Ice age a A time when all the oceans on Earth freeze over completely. b An ice age is a period of time when much of Earth’s land is covered in glaciers. c A period of intense global warming across all continents. 3 What is the snowline a The highest point on a mountain where snow can be found. b The average amount of snowfall an area receives in a year. c The snowline is the lowest elevation in a particular area thatremains covered in snow all year. 4 What are the two types of glaciers a Icebergs b Valley glaciers and ice sheets c Sea Ice 5 Two ways glaciers flow a Plastic flow and basal slip b Wind c Runoff 6 Define glacial budget a The amount of money spent on studying glaciers b The total volume of ice in a glacier at any given time c The glacial budget is the balance or lack of balance between the top and bottom of the glacier 7 Name one landscape feature glaciers produce a Horns b V shaped valleys c Deltas 8 What is Till a Till is material deposited directly by the glacier b Material deposited by running water c Till is finely ground rock powder carried by wind 9 What are moraines a When glaciers melt, they leave layers or ridges of till called moraines b Large, moving masses of ice that carve out valleys c Nice warm jumbalaya 10 What are plucking and abrasion, and how do they erode land? a A glacier widens, deepens, and straightens the valley b Wind erosion removes the valley sides c Lava fills the valley and reshapes it 11 How are humid regions different from desert regions in terms of soil and vegetation? a Humid regions have thick soils and lots of plants; deserts do not b Deserts have more plants than humid regions c Both regions have the same soil and vegetation 12 Why is mechanical weathering more common in deserts than chemical weathering? a Deserts have too many plants b There is little moisture, so rocks break physically instead of chemically c Chemical weathering happens faster without water 13 What is a desert stream, and why are most desert streams temporary? a A stream that flows only after rain because water is scarce b A stream that flows year-round from glaciers c A stream that flows only underground 14 What is interior drainage, and why do many desert streams not reach the ocean? a Water stays within basins and evaporates before reaching the ocean b Streams freeze before reaching the ocean c Rivers flow backward toward mountains 15 How do alluvial fans form at the base of desert mountains? a Water slows down and drops sediment when it leaves steep canyons b Wind piles sand into cones c Lava spreads out at mountain bases 16 What is a playa lake, and what happens after the water disappears? a A temporary lake that dries into a flat playa b A deep permanent desert lake c A saltwater ocean 17 Why are rivers like the Colorado River able to flow through deserts permanently? a They start in well-watered areas with lots of water b They gain water from desert rainstorms c They are fed by underground oceans 18 Why are floods in deserts usually short but very intense? a Dry soil and little vegetation cause rapid runoff b Desert rivers are fed by glaciers c Groundwater rises slowly over weeks 19 Why is sand in deserts easily eroded and transported? a Ice cements the sand together b Sand is heavier than most rocks c There is little vegetation to hold it in place 20 What usually happens to desert streams after heavy rainfall? a They become permanent rivers b They flow briefly, then dry up again c They freeze and turn into glaciers 21 What is deflation, and what particles are most easily removed by wind? a Wind lifting clay and silt from the ground b Wind melting ice c Wind breaking rocks chemically 22 What is desert pavement, and how does it protect the land? a A layer of pebbles that prevents further wind erosion b A man-made road in deserts c A hardened salt crust 23 How does abrasion work, and why does it mostly happen near the ground? a Wind-blown sand scrapes rocks, and sand stays low b Rain dissolves rock at high elevations c Ice freezes and cracks rock 24 What is loess, and where is it commonly found? a Wind-blown silt found in places like China b Lava rock near volcanoes c Glacial ice deposits 25 What factors determine the shape of sand dunes? a Wind, sand supply, and vegetation b Ocean tides c Earthquakes and volcanoes 26 What are barchan dunes, and how do they form? a Star-shaped dunes formed by changing winds b Crescent-shaped dunes with little vegetation and limited sand c Long straight dunes formed with lots of plants 27 How are transverse dunes different from longitudinal dunes? a Transverse dunes are perpendicular to wind; longitudinal dunes are parallel b Transverse dunes form underwater c Longitudinal dunes only form in forests 28 Why do parabolic dunes have their tips pointing into the wind? a Vegetation anchors the arms while the center moves b Gravity pulls them backward c Water erosion shapes them 29 What causes star dunes to form, and where are they found? a One steady wind near beaches b Melting glaciers in polar regions c Changing wind directions in places like the Sahara 30 What type of sediment is most commonly lifted by wind during deflation? a Clay and silt b Large boulders c Bedrock layers
