TEKS 5.7B Recognize how landforms such as deltas, canyons, and sand dunes are the result of changes to Earth’s Surface by wind, water, and ice Two students noticed cracks on the school’s outside basketball court.

Wind is a force that produces weathering or erosion. The sand dune in the picture above was formed as a result of – A. wind erosion. B. animal movement. C. mass movement. D. volcanic eruption. Correct Answer: A Wind Erosion Wind erosion can blow sand into large mounds called dunes. Incorrect Answers B. Animals disperse sediments through an area as they travel. C. Mass movement occurs as a result of gravity pulling rocks and soil downward. D. A Volcanic eruption deposit s lava and ash that hardens into rock, not sand. Which of the following landforms is a result of deposition? A. B. C. D. Correct Answer: D A beach shore is formed as waves deposit sand and ocean sediments onto the land. Incorrect Answers A. A sea cave is formed after soft rock is eroded by ocean waves. B. Cliffs are formed by weathering of rock due to wind erosion and rain. C. Arches are formed by weathering away of rock.
