7.7E| Module 7 Quiz - Destructive Geologic Processes

Instructions

Complete all assignments in the module. Read the learning objectives below. If you don't understand any or feel unsure that you'll be able to answer questions about that objective, please go back and review them before starting this quiz. You have only one attempt and 50 minutes.  

Learning Objectives

• Students can describe the role weathering, mass wasting, and erosion play in shaping Earth’s surface and can provide and/or identify examples of each of these processes
• Students can describe the evolution of landforms and geologic structures in the context of constructive and/or destructive geologic processes
• Describe how weathering, mass wasting, and erosion are geologically destructive forces
• Use material and motion to classify a mass-wasting event
• Identify different forms of mass wasting and correlate different triggers with real-life mass wasting events
• State the different agents of erosion
• Differentiate between mechanical and chemical weathering and identify examples
• Use the "maturing" of mineral grains to make interpretations of geologic history
