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

  • What change on the surface of the Earth is a result of tectonic plates shifting?
    Ice breaks rocks apart.
    Earthquakes shake the ground.
    Glaciers are pulled downhill by gravity.
    Hurricanes cause heavy rainfall.

  • 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.
    Volcanoes bring heat to an area which attracts animals.
    Lava cools and hardens and forms new rock.

  • What is the best answer that describes the Earth’s crust?
    It is rock that is broken up into plates.
    It is one giant piece of solid rock.
    It is made up of molten magma.
