Map Earth Process Effects
Grade 4 - Science - On Level
On a coastal trail map, a note says "water froze in a crack and widened it." Which Earth process best explains it?
- wind
- waves
- ice
- running water
On a schoolyard slope map, which effect would likely appear after wind 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?
- a dry sealed rock indoors
- a protected area with roots
- flat covered soil with no moving water
- growing roots in a crack
For the mountain road map, which evidence would support slower land change?
- bare pavement without roots
- plant roots
- growing roots in a crack
- bare soil in strong wind
Why is a stream table map useful for studying waves?
- it makes every process invisible
- it proves no land can change
- it shows where patterns of land change happen
- it replaces all observations
On a park path map, a note says "water froze in a crack and widened it." Which Earth process best explains it?
- running water
- gravity and rain
- ice
- wind
On a farm field map, which effect would likely appear after plant roots changes land?
- water eroded the steep slope faster
- roots weathered the surface as they grew
- ice weathered the rock by expanding
- waves eroded the shoreline
Using the cliff layer map, which location would likely change faster?
- a dry sealed rock indoors
- rock with water freezing in cracks
- a protected area with roots
- flat covered soil with no moving water
For the garden bed map, which evidence would support slower land change?
- ice
- dry rock with no cracks
- bare soil in strong wind
- rock with water freezing in cracks
Why is a river bluff map useful for studying waves?
- it proves no land can change
- it shows where patterns of land change happen
- it replaces all observations
- it makes every process invisible
