Why are barrier islands important? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Multiple choice 1 Descriptions ____21. __ is a landscape created by groundwater dissolving sedimentary rocks such as limestone. This forms an underground cave. ____22. __ form when the ground on top of Karst topographies (caves) collapses. ____23. __ is the result of water expanding by 9% when it freezes and wedges the rock until it breaks. ____24. _ is removal of material from the surface. ____25. _ is the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks. ____26. __ mass of snow, ice, and rocks falling rapidly down a mountainside (mass movement). ____27. ___ is the slow downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope. ____28. ___ is the movement of loose rock and soil that moves a short distance down a slope. It is usually shaped like a spoon. Choices A. ablation B. abrasion C. sinkhole D. Graded bedding E. Karst topography F. creep G. avalanche H. slump Multiple choice 2 Descriptions ____29. ___ is a type of landslide where rocks tumble downhill loosening other rocks on its way and smashing everything in its path. ____30. ___ erosion of land by wind; can lower the land's surface by several meters. ____31. ___ is a weathering process that causes rock layers to peel away due to heat, water, and wind. ____32. ___ is the way sediment settles. Large pieces on the bottom, medium sized pieces next, and then the smallest particles on the top. ____ 33. A V - shaped valley was formed by ___. ____ 34. A U -shaped valley was formed by___. ____ 35. The greatest agent of erosion in the desert ____ 36. are composite organisms consisting of a fungus and a photosynthetic partner growing together in a symbiotic relationship. ____37.

A: The process of disintegration of rock and soil. C: Both B: The processes that involve the movement of soil and rock. D: Neither ____39. Which types of changes are included in the process of weathering? Check all that apply. A: chemical changes B: physical changes C: Both ____40. Erosion can be caused by which of the following?
