Unit 4: Lesson 3 Checkpoint

Master weathering, erosion, and deposition! Learn how Earth's surface changes with this science checkpoint.

Unit 4: Lesson 3 - The Flow of Energy Drives Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Read every question fully and answer the questions to the best of your ability. You may use notes or any materials from class. You may NOT copy responses from the internet. What caused these changes at Port Campbell National Park?State your claim. Make sure your claim fully explains how the changes at Port Campbell National Park occurred. You must include 1-2 complete sentences and 3 words from the wordbank.Sentence Starter: This rock formation was changed through the processes of... These processes were most likely due to...Word Bank: weathering, erosion, deposition, gravity Summarize the evidence you have gathered to support your claim and explain your reasoning. Your answer must include the following:✔ What are weathering, erosion, and deposition?✔ What environmental factors may have contributed to these processes?✔ What in the picture tells you this? (Use your observations as evidence)✔ 3-4 complete sentences✔ 4 words from the wordbankSentence Starters:We learned that weathering.... , then erosion... and finally deposition...(Environmental factor) may have caused (weathering / erosion / deposition).I think these things occurred because in the photo I can see...Word Bank: weathering, erosion, deposition, gravity, observation, process, slowly, quickly Label the Model On the map, label the areas where erosion occurs with an E and then label the areas where deposition occurs with a D. E E D Use this photo to answer the next 2 questions. Which of the following is a factor in weathering caused by gravity? Use the photo above. presence of living organisms on the rocks presence of water at one end of the glacier slope of the ground that the glacier is on size of the boulders at the base of the glacier Which evidence in the photo best illustrates the occurrence of deposition? the glacier ending in the water the color of the rock formations areas of water where the glacier may be melting rocks and sediment at the edges of the glacier What type of physical weathering could cause a rock to break apart? gravity acting upon the loose rocks and dirt in the area water refreezing in the rock crevasses Sediment settling on the beach after falling of the side of a cliff How do you feel after taking this checkpoint?
