Map Earth Process Effects
Grade 4 - Science - Challenge Me
On a coastal trail map, a note says "roots grew into a sidewalk crack and pushed it wider." Which Earth process best explains it?
- waves
- ice
- running water
- plant roots
On a schoolyard slope map, which effect would likely appear after ice changes land?
- ice weathered the rock by expanding
- stronger wind caused more erosion
- water eroded the steep slope faster
- water and gravity moved sediment downhill
Using the desert canyon map, which location would likely change faster?
- flat covered soil with no moving water
- a dry sealed rock indoors
- rock with water freezing in cracks
- a protected area with roots
For the mountain road map, which evidence would support slower land change?
- protected shore with plants
- bare soil in strong wind
- waves eroded the shoreline
- shoreline hit by many waves
Why is a stream table map useful for studying wind?
- it replaces all observations
- it removes the need for evidence
- it proves no land can change
- it shows where patterns of land change happen
On a park path map, a note says "water froze in a crack and widened it." Which Earth process best explains it?
- running water
- plant roots
- ice
- waves
On a farm field map, which effect would likely appear after ice changes land?
- waves eroded the shoreline
- water eroded the steep slope faster
- roots weathered the surface as they grew
- ice weathered the rock by expanding
Using the cliff layer map, which location would likely change faster?
- a dry sealed rock indoors
- flat covered soil with no moving water
- rock with water freezing in cracks
- a protected area with roots
For the garden bed map, which evidence would support slower land change?
- steep wet hill
- gravity and rain
- terraced slope with plants
- bare soil in strong wind
Why is a river bluff map useful for studying running water?
- it replaces all observations
- it proves no land can change
- it shows where patterns of land change happen
- it removes the need for evidence
