  • How are most caves formed?
    Ice makes large cracks in the ground.
    Water carries rock to a new location.
    Wind breaks up rock over time.
    Water seeps into the ground and dissolves the rock.

  • What forms slowly after many years when tectonic plates push towards each other?
    volcanos
    mountains
    tsunamis
    earthquakes

  • 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?
    Hurricanes cause heavy rainfall.
    Ice breaks rocks apart.
    Glaciers are pulled downhill by gravity.
    Earthquakes shake the ground.

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

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