Lab: Modeling Water Erosion — Unit test

Question 12 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27

Which event occurs after Earth’s surface experiences weathering?

Answer
A
Wind carries sediments to a new location.
B
Ice forms cracks in large rocks.
C
Moving water breaks sediments into pieces.
D
Surface materials wear down into sediment.

Explanation

Weathering breaks down rock at Earth’s surface into smaller pieces called sediment. After that, erosion can move the sediment to a new location; wind carrying sediment is an example of erosion. Ice cracking rocks and materials wearing down describe weathering, not what happens afterward.
