1) Which of the following is NOT a type of rock? a) metamorphic rock b) sedimentary rocks c) igneous rock d) sediments 2) Which of the following is NOT something that can weather rocks? a) water b) wind c) glacier d) clouds 3) Of the options below, which is the youngest rock layer in this slice of rock? a) 2 b) 3 c) 5 d) 4 4) Which of these would speed up erosion? a) warmer temperatures b) steeper river channels c) deposition of sediments d) vegetation along a river 5) How are weathering and erosion different? a) Erosion moves rocks without breaking them down b) Weathering and erosion move rocks to a new location c) Erosion breaks down the rocks but does not move them. d) Weathering moves rocks without breaking them down 6) Mr. Laskey's class put equal amounts of gravel on four trays. The trays were then set at different angles. Students used a garden hose to run water down each tray. They measured how much time it took for the gravel to erode to the bottom of the tray and recorder their data in the table below. Which conclusion can be made from the data below? a) The angle of the tray does not change erosion time b) Water erodes gravel more easily than it does limestone c) Ice and wind erode materials at different rates than water d) Steeper angles cause water erosion to occur more quickly 7) How can a plant be involved in the weathering of rock? a) growing roots can break rock b) rocks provide minerals that plants need c) rocky places have few plants d) plants absorb water for their use 8) Plants help rock to weather. Which of the these parts does a plant most often use to weather rock? a) its roots b) its stem c) its leaves d) its flowers 9) Rain that falls on rock goes into cracks in the rock. What happens when the water freezes in these cracks? a) The cracks get wider b) The cracks get smaller c) The cracks get weaker d) The cracks get stronger. 10) Which of these is an example of erosion? a) termites building mounds b) land drying out and cracking c) waves carrying sand out to the sea d) people cutting down forests to build houses 11) The water in a fast-moving river causes rocks to bump and scrape against one another. What will happen to these rocks over time? a) They will get larger b) They will get smaller c) They will get sharper d) They will get heavier 12) What is weathering? a) the changing of soil into a layer of rock b) the moving of soil from one place to another c) the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces d) the cracking apart of rocks with freezing water 13) Many rocks contain gaps or cracks. In the diagram, notice the relationship between the rock and the plant. Which change will happen to the rock and the plant over time a) The rock will crush the plant b) The plant will be buried in the rock c) The plant will grow and the crack will get bigger d) The rock will stop the plant from growing bigger 14) The pictures show a change in a bank next to a river over a period of a few year. Which event most likely caused the bank to change? a) humans digging out the bank b) waves of water hitting the bank c) frost forming on the top of the bank d) wind blowing down the bank 15) The diagram shows three rock layers. Which statement about the age of the rock layers is correct? a) The top layer is the oldest. b) The middle layer is the oldest. c) The bottom layer is the oldest. d) All the layers are the same age. 16) Julian was given a bag with several fossils in it from the rock layers shown. If one of the fossils is older than layer 1 but younger than layer 3, which rock layer was it collected from? a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4 17) Scientist found many fern fossils in a location that is not a desert. Which explanation for this fossil find is most likely? a) Ferns used to be able to grow in the desert. b) The landscape of the area changed overtime from a forest to a desert. c) Many years ago humans misplaced the fossil. d) The fern migrated from the forest to the desert after it died. 18) A class took a field trip to look at some rock layers and the fossils in the rock. The fossils found in each rock layers are shown. Of the fossils below, which fossil is the youngest? a) trilobite b) clamshell c) dinosaur bone d) fish skeleton 19) Scientists use fossils to describe how all of the environments on Earth have changed over time. Which fossil discovery represents a change in the environment where the fossil was found? a) polar bear bones in Alaska b) seashells in the sand at the beach c) horse bones in soil in the prairie d) fish in rocks on the top of a mountain 20) Kenton County is putting in a new road and is looking for ideas to make this road last extra long. Which of the following roads will have the least erosion a) A flat road without vegetation b) A steep road without vegetation c) A flat road with vegetation d) A steep road with vegetation
