QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
||ALREADY GRADED A++
Natural Recorces - CORRECT ANSWERS - Resources that are obtained from
the earth
Renewable Resorce - CORRECT ANSWERS - A natural resource that can be
replaced
Nonrenewable Resorce - CORRECT ANSWERS - A resource that cannot be
replaced in a short period of time or at all.
Fossil Fuels - CORRECT ANSWERS - A natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed
in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
Igneous Rock - CORRECT ANSWERS - A type of rock that forms when melted
rock cools and hardens
Mineral - CORRECT ANSWERS - A natural, solid substance found in rocks;
each mineral has a specific chemical makeup
Sedimentary Rock - CORRECT ANSWERS - A type of rock formed by gravity
pressing fragments of other rocks and minerals together as they settle on land
or under the ocean over a long period of time
,Metamorphic Rock - CORRECT ANSWERS - One of the major types of rock
that is created from previously existing rock by the action of intense heat and
pressure
Erosion - CORRECT ANSWERS - The removal of weathered rock material.
After rocks have been broken down, the small particles are transported to
other locations by wind, water, ice, and gravity.
Canyon - CORRECT ANSWERS - A deep valley carved by flowing water
River - CORRECT ANSWERS - A large body of water flowing through land on
either side
Landform - CORRECT ANSWERS - A large natural structure on the earth's
surface such as a mountain, a plain, or a valley
Plateau - CORRECT ANSWERS - An area of land at a high elevation with a flat
surface
Water - CORRECT ANSWERS - A compound made of hydrogen and oxygen
Groundwater - CORRECT ANSWERS - Water stored below Earth's surface in
soil and rock layers
Earth - CORRECT ANSWERS - The third planet from the Sun; the planet on
which we live (related words: earthly; earth - meaning soil or dirt)
,Sediment - CORRECT ANSWERS - Solid material, moved by wind, water, and
other forces, that settles on the surface of land or the bottom of a body of
water
Stream - CORRECT ANSWERS - A small body of flowing water
Abrasion - CORRECT ANSWERS - A type of mechanical weathering caused by
the scraping and scratching of rocks by loose particles that are transported
over the rocks by wind, water, glaciers, etc.
Deposit - CORRECT ANSWERS - An amount of rock or soil that has been laid
down in an area; to drop.
Delta - CORRECT ANSWERS - A fan-shaped mass of mud and other sediment
that forms where a river enters a large body of water
Solution - CORRECT ANSWERS - A mixture in which a solid and a liquid or
two liquids are mixed so evenly, that it is not possible to see the separate
particles
Dissolve - CORRECT ANSWERS - To add a solid material to a liquid in such a
way that its particles completely disperse into the liquid, usually becoming
invisible within the liquid (related word: dissolution)
Rain - CORRECT ANSWERS - Liquid water that falls from the sky
Cave - CORRECT ANSWERS - Chamber or cavern, typically formed
underground by natural processes
, Sinkhole - CORRECT ANSWERS - Surface feature resulting from collapse of a
cave
Action - CORRECT ANSWERS - Movement; something that happens (related
words: move, moving)
Stalactite - CORRECT ANSWERS - Structure descending from the roof of a
limestone cave
Stalagmite - CORRECT ANSWERS - Structure rising from the floor of a
limestone cave
Sea Cave - CORRECT ANSWERS - Hollow or cavern formed by wave action
Sea Arch - CORRECT ANSWERS - Hoop-shaped structure formed by wave
action on cliffs
Barrier (Island) - CORRECT ANSWERS - Offshore land area parallel to the
coastline
Valley - CORRECT ANSWERS - A low area of land between two higher areas,
often formed by water
Bedrock - CORRECT ANSWERS - The layer of solid rock located beneath the
soil on Earth
Plucking - CORRECT ANSWERS - The action of a glacier picking up and
carrying away debris from rock surfaces
