Geography exam

Question 1

erosion

Answer 1

The process of wearing away the earth’s surface by natural forces like wind, water, or ice. It can result in the loss of soil, rock, and other materials, shaping landforms over time.

Question 2

deposition

Answer 2

The process where materials, like soil, sand, and rocks, are laid down or accumulated in a new location, often after being transported by wind, water, or ice. This forms new landforms like deltas, sand dunes, or riverbanks.

Question 3

weathering

Answer 3

The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces due to environmental factors like wind, water, temperature changes, and biological activity. It occurs in two types:

Mechanical Weathering: Physical breakdown (e.g., freeze-thaw).
Chemical Weathering: Chemical changes that alter the composition (e.g., rusting).

Question 4

divergent

Answer 4

plates that spread apart

Question 5

tranform

Answer 5

Question 6

convergent

Answer 6

Question 10

deconstructive processes

Answer 10

Natural processes that break down or remove materials from the Earth’s surface, shaping landforms. Examples include:

Question 11

constructive example

Answer 11

Mountain Building: Tectonic forces push land upwards to form mountains.

Question 12

deconstructive example

Answer 12

Coastal Erosion: Waves and tides wearing away coastlines.
