LEVEL 1/5

Earth's surface is mostly made of rock. Water, wind and ice can break down this rock to form ___________________.This is called weathering.

Bigger pieces

loose pieces

Melted rock

erosion

LEVEL 2/5

Which of the following sentences gives you an example of erosion?

Mud dries up next to a lake

Mud builds up beside a river

Mud is washed away during a storm.

Ice moves down a hill at a slow speed.

LEVEL 3/5

These boulders broke off from a nearby hill. Thousands of years ago, ice moved these boulders down the hill. When the ice melted, it left the boulders behind. Based on this information, which sentence is true?

Boulders moved by ice are an example of sediment.

Ice caries only small pieces of sediment, such as sand.

All the erosion in Ireland is caused by ice.

It's impossible for boulders that big to move.

LEVEL 4/5

These two maps show how erosion has changed the coast over time.The top map shows a part of the coast in 1853 and the bottom map shows the same area in 1978. How did erosion change this area from 1853 to 1978?

Sand laid down near Cailou Bay. The bay got smaller.

Part of Isle Derniere was added to creating a larger island.

Vine Island washed away. The area became part of Terrebonne bay.

Nothing changed between the two maps.

LEVEL 5/5

Select one example of weathering.

Water freezes inside a crack in a rock and the crack grows.

On a cold day, snow falls and builds up on a the ground.

Melted rock comes out of the ground and cools to form solid rock.

Rocks form deep underground.

LEVEL 1/5

Rain and snow are both types of precipitation. Precipitation occurs when the water vapor in the air condenses and falls to Earth. What change in atmospheric conditions would most likely cause an increase in precipitation to occur?

Increase in air pressure

Increase in Wind Speed

Decrease in air temperature

Decrease in sunlight

LEVEL 2/5

The water cycle is the process that moves all water on Earth between different locations. Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation are steps within the water cycle. What would happen to the water cycle if the process of evaporation completely stopped?

There would BE no more rain or snow.

There would be more land to INHABIT as sea levels dropped.

There would be a build-up of clouds in the atmosphere.

There would be more hurricanes.

LEVEL 3/5

Water evaporates from Earth's surface and later falls to Earth as precipitation. What are the sources of water that evaporate from Earth's surface?

Salt water from Earth's oceans

Ice, salt water, and fresh water from all over Earth

Fresh water from Earth's lakes and rivers

Ice from the North and South poles

LEVEL 4/5

Which part of the water cycle involves the change from water vapor to liquid water?

Condensation

Evaporation

precipitation

runoff

LEVEL 5/5

Which step in the water cycle represents water changing from liquid to gas?
