  • What is one way that water can break down rocks?
    Water expands when it freezes in the cracks of rocks.
    Hot water in the ocean melts rocks.
    A river takes small rocks to a new location.
    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.
    Glaciers are pulled downhill by gravity.

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