  • How are most caves formed?
    Ice makes large cracks in the ground.
    Water carries rock to a new location.

  • What is one way that water can break down rocks?
    Water expands when it freezes in the cracks of rocks.
    Frozen water makes rocks collapse inward
    Hot water in the ocean melts rocks.
    A river takes small rocks to a new location.

  • What change on the surface of the Earth is a result of tectonic plates shifting?
    Glaciers are pulled downhill by gravity.
    Ice breaks rocks apart.
    Earthquakes shake the ground.
    Hurricanes cause heavy rainfall.

  • What is one way volcanoes are a CONSTRUCTIVE force?
    Flowing lava melts everything in its path.
    Volcanoes bring heat to an area which attracts animals.
    Lava cools and hardens and forms new rock.
    Volcanoes produce a cloud of gas, ash, and rock.

  • What is the best answer that describes the Earth’s crust?
    It is rock that is broken up into plates.
    It is one giant piece of solid rock.
    It is really thick and unmovable.
