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

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

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

  • What is the best answer that describes the Earth’s crust?
    It is one giant piece of solid rock.
    It is made up of molten magma.
    It is rock that is broken up into plates.
