7.6E| Module 7 Quiz - Destructive Geologic Processes

Instructions

Complete all assignments in the module. Read the learning objectives below. If you need help understanding anything 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 two attempts and 55 minutes.  

Learning Objectives

• Students can describe the differences between constructive and destructive geologic forces and provide a specific example of each.
• Students can explain how specific agents of mechanical and chemical weathering can weaken and break-down rock.
• 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
