Hint: Google images is very useful in finding the pictures you need. 2) “Insert” the puzzle into slide 3. Resize it so it is an exact fit and then right click and use the ORDER command to send the puzzle to the back. 3) To remove a puzzle just move any square out of the way. Move the cursor over the underlying puzzle and ‘cut’ the puzzle. 4) Add the questions and answers. Leave sound bites as they are, delete them (action settings) or insert your own. 5) Add the answer to the last slide. This game is free for any non-commercial use.

Why would crushing a rock speed up the rate of weathering? Ques. #3 Why would crushing a rock speed up the rate of weathering? The exposed surface area would increase Back Ans.

Ques. #4 Back At which location would stream velocity be greatest? Location B Back Ans.

Ques. #5 Which agent of erosion created this sandstone arch? Back Wind Ans.

Ques. #6 At which two locations is deposition probably occurring? Back Locations A and F Back Ans.

Ques. #7 Explain the pattern of deposition (in water) shown in the diagram. The smallest beads were the most dense and the largest were the least dense. Back Ans.

Indicate two ways in which rocks are changed by long periods of Ques. #8 Indicate two ways in which rocks are changed by long periods of stream abrasion. The get rounder and smoother and smaller. Back Ans.

Ques. #9 Back When dropped into water, which particle would settle at the slowest rate? Particle A Back Ans.

Name any 2 characteristics of a stream that affect it’s velocity. Ques. #10 Name any 2 characteristics of a stream that affect it’s velocity. 1) Slope (gradient) 2) Volume (rate of discharge) 3) Shape of the stream channel Back Ans.

Name any three methods by which materials are transported by a stream Ques. #11 Name any three methods by which materials are transported by a stream Floatation, rolling (saltation), suspension, solution Back Ans.

Ques. #12 Back This rock is different from the bedrock beneath it. What name is given to this type of rock and how did it get there? It’s a erratic - it was transported by a glacier Back Ans.

Ques. #13 What accounts for the uneven nature of the cliff face? Back Differences in the resistance (hardness) of the rock layers Back Ans.

What is the force driving all erosion? Ques. #14 What is the force driving all erosion? Gravity Back Ans.

What term describes particles smaller than clay which may remain Ques. #15 What term describes particles smaller than clay which may remain in suspension for months before settling? Colloids Back Ans.

Ques. #16 Which agent of erosion is responsible for depositing this soil? Glaciers - the particles are unsorted Back Ans.

What is the opposite of erosion? Ques. #17 What is the opposite of erosion? Uplift (mountain building - orogeny) Back Ans.

Ques. #18 Back What kind of stream is this and what do you know about the slope of the land where it is flowing. It is a meandering stream and the slope is nearly flat. Back Ans.

Ques. #19 What agent of erosion has affected this area and what evidence do you see that supports your conclusion? Glaciers - parallel grooves in the rock Back Ans.

Ques. #20 What is a residual soil? Back A soil that has formed from the bedrock immediately beneath it. Back Ans.

How long will it take for material carried in solution by a stream to Ques. #23 How long will it take for material carried in solution by a stream to settle out once the water stops moving? Material in solution will never settle Back Ans.

What kind of energy is constantly decreasing during the process of Ques. #24 What kind of energy is constantly decreasing during the process of erosion? Potential energy Back Ans.

What kind of rock is most affected by acid rain? Ques. #25 What kind of rock is most affected by acid rain? Carbonate rocks (limestone and marble) Back Ans.

Ques. #26 Name four clues that would lead you to believe an area had been subject to glacial erosion. 1) Parallel grooves in rocks 2) Narrow, deep lakes 3) U-shaped valleys 4) Unsorted sediments 5) Scratched & polished rock 6) Erratics Back Ans.
