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

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

  • 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.
    Hurricanes cause heavy rainfall.
    Earthquakes shake the ground.

  • What is one way volcanoes are a CONSTRUCTIVE force?
    Volcanoes produce a cloud of gas, ash, and rock.
    Flowing lava melts everything in its path.
    Lava cools and hardens and forms new 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 really thick and unmovable.
