1

What is runoff?

a

Water that flows underground.

b

Water that is trapped in lakes.

c

Water that flows over Earth’s surface.

2

What factors affect runoff?

a

Wind speed and air temperature.

b

Rainfall, vegetation, soil type, and the slope of the land.

c

Altitude and climate zones.

3

How do plants help prevent erosion?

a

Their stems build nests in soil.

b

Their leaves absorb rainfall.

c

Their roots hold soil in place.

4

What is the difference between a rill and a gully?

a

A rill is small; a gully is larger.

b

A rill is larger; a gully is smaller.

c

Rills occur in deserts; gullies in forests.

5

How does a meander form?

a

By glacier carving valleys.

b

Through erosion on one side of a river and deposition on the other.

c

By tectonic plate movement.

6

What is a delta?

a

A deep lake formed by volcano.

b

A mountain peak formed by erosion.

c

A deposit of sediment where a river enters a larger body of water.

7

What two features can groundwater deposition form?

a

Stalactites and stalagmites.

b

Caverns and sinkholes.

c

Rocks and minerals.

8

How will Niagara Falls most likely change naturally over time?

a

Volcanic activity will raise the falls.

b

Erosion will cause the falls to slowly move upstream.

c

Glacial freezing will expand the waterfall.

9

How do glaciers change Earth’s surface?

a

Through erosion and deposition.

b

Through volcanic activity.

c

Through weathering only.

10

What is plucking?

a

When ice melts forming lakes.

b

When a glacier pulls rock from the ground.

c

When water freezes rock.

11

How can a valley glacier change a valley?

a

It narrows the valley.

b

It can make it wider and deeper and form a U-shaped valley.

c

It makes a V-shaped valley.

12

How are glaciers and waves similar?

a

Both cause erosion, transport sediment, and cause deposition.

b

Both create mountains.

c

Both heat the Earth's surface.

13

What is longshore drift?

a

Movement of water up a beach.

b

The movement of sediment along a shoreline by waves.

c

Wind-driven sand transport.

14

Put these in order: Sea stack – crack – sea arch – sea cave

a

Sea cave → Crack → Sea stack → Sea arch

b

Crack → Sea stack → Sea arch → Sea cave

c

Crack → Sea cave → Sea arch → Sea stack
