85 pts the size of soil particles will affect how fast water passes through and also the amount of space between particles. this describes question 1 options: permeability and porosity soil and soil profile weathering and erosion humus and loam question 2 (1 point) on the northside of stone mountain near the base, water slowly seeps into the small cracks all spring. during the winter, the water freezes and expands gradually increasing the size of the cracks. this describes which process? question 2 options: erosion ice wedging mass wasting deposition question 3 (1 point) sediment, water, organic material, & air mix together to create question 3 options: sedimentary rock minerals soil the rock cycle question 4 (1 point) a dinosaur footprint is an example of a(n) question 4 options: mold index fossil body fossil trace fossil question 5 (3 points) select the landforms that one would expect to find a divergent boundary. question 5 options: folded mountains rift valley mid-ocean ridge deep sea trench new oceanic crust question 6 (6 points) match each of the statements with the correct word. question 6 options: agent loam cystalline subduction moh's scale lithosphere 1. used to rate the hardness of every mineral on earth 2. any force or object that can cause change 3. made of crystal; containing a repeating structure of atoms 4. a type of soil that is ideal quality for growing vegetation. it has equal amounts of sand, silt and clay. 5. consists of earth's crust and upper mantle 6. one plates sinks underneath another question 7 (2 points) the way that a mineral breaks can to identify that mineral. some minerals have a tendency to split evenly along specific or straight planes, this is called ; other minerals break in more of an irregular pattern, this is called question 7 options: luster, fracture hardness, luster cleavage, fracture cleavage, luster question 8 (1 point) the dark brown organic material found in soil is called question 8 options: compost fertilizer humus sediment question 9 (4 points) which of the following processes work together to form sedimentary rock? question 9 options: weathering erosion convection subduction melting compaction cementation question 10 (1 point) as you look out across the vast canyon, you notice a bright red layer of sediment across the canyon for as far as you can see. you wonder what conditions formed this layer. the layer is an example of question 10 options: principle of lateral continuity principle of original horizontality principle of superposition unconformity question 11 (1 point) the is the rigid layer of earth that consists of the upper mantle and crust. question 11 options: lithosphere asthenosphere core continental question 12 (1 point) the formation of a sand dune in the desert or a delta near the water is based on how sediment is dropped and arranged. this process is known as question 12 options: weathering deposition erosion leaching question 13 (1 point) intrusive igneous rock forms from question 13 options: cooled magma cooled lava cooled metamorphic rock cooled sediment 85 pts
