  • How are most caves formed?
    Ice makes large cracks in the ground.
    Water seeps into the ground and dissolves the rock.

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

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

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