Which of the following is NOT an agent of erosion?
Give this one a try later!
Sunlight. Sunlight by itself would not be capable of moving rock to a
different place. Water can move rock, or wear it down. Wind can move
pieces to new destinations. Gravity is a physical force that would make the
rock stay or fall depending on it's location
This academic year, Mark is focusing on the study of planetary and physical geology.

4. Transpiration is the process that occurs when _____.
Give this one a try later!
plants lose water through their leaves
5. _____ bones are more likely than _____ to be scattered, trampled, weathered, and/or

WHAT event is likely to produce an unconformity, an area where an older layer of rock
has eroded and is covered by a newer layer?
Give this one a try later!
, Wind, water, and friction
Which of the following is a process of forming bedrock channels that involves erosion
from particles scraping against each other?
Give this one a try later!
Abrasion
What happens when a stream flows into a lake?
Give this one a try later!
The velocity of the stream's water decreases, which decreases its ability to
cause erosion
3. Which of the following is TRUE with regards to the samples taken from the ocean
floor by the Deep Sea Drilling Project?
Give this one a try later!
The ocean floor was youngest near the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
In which stage of the aging process would a stream valley have a V-shape and steep
sides?
, Give this one a try later!
Youth stage
2. How are mantle plumes and hot spots related?
Give this one a try later!
Mantle plumes rise and break through the crust, forming hot spots.
2. Iron pyrite is sometimes referred to as fool's gold. It has a cubic shape. What type
of crystal habit is this?
Give this one a try later!
Cubic
Which of the following statements about the inner core of the Earth is TRUE?
Give this one a try later!
