Chapter 9 Changes to Earth’s Surface Study Guide
When preparing for this test make sure you study….
 Three packets from this chapter
 This study guide
 Vocab Words listed below:
landform
topography
glacier
sand dune
delta
sinkhole
plate
earthquake
epicenter
fault
magma
lava
volcano
1. Match the following landforms with the method by which they form.
moraine ___
glacial groove ___
sand dune ___
a.
scratches on rocks formed by glaciers moving over them
b.
formed from sand that is deposited at the mouth of a river
c.
hills of sand formed by the wind
d.
form where the crust is crumpled and pushed upward by the
sand spit ___
sandbar ___
movement of plates
e.
forms when the roof of a cave collapses from a combination of
water weathering and eroding underground rock and gravity
canyon ___
mesa ___
mountain ___
f.
hills that form by deposition from a glacier
g.
long, narrow piles of sand deposited by waves and currents
h.
formed when fast rivers carve through many layers of rock through
weathering and erosion
sinkhole ___
i.
formed as running water erodes the water around it
2. List three ways that rocks can weather.
