2.1 - Denudation, Weathering, Mass Wasting and Erosion

Rocks being broken down in situ (in the same place) is called:

The downslope movement of soil or rock under the pull of gravity is known as:

Which agent is most directly responsible for building sand dunes?

Erosion is best described as the:

When a river or wave drops sediment because it has lost energy, the process is called:

Which of the following is a river depositional landform?

The term denudation refers to the:

A road cut in the Northern Range (Trinidad) becomes unstable after two days of heavy rain. Which factor best explains the increased landslide risk?

A river in Jamaica turns brown after a thunderstorm. The brown color is mainly caused by:

Which sequence correctly represents the ‘landscape conveyor belt’ in many environments?

Which example best shows chemical weathering in a warm, wet Caribbean setting?

Waves carve a notch at the base of a cliff by the sheer force of water, and air being compressed in cracks. This process is:

A fast-moving mixture of water, ash and stones rushing down a valley after intense rainfall on a volcanic island is best described as a:

At a river mouth on a low-energy coast, sediment builds outward into the sea. Which landform is most likely forming?

A hillside shows weathered rock, then a sudden slump after rain, followed by muddy water in the river and finally fresh silt spread across lowland farms. Which option matches each stage to the correct process in order?

Which statement best evaluates the claim: “If material is moving downhill, it is always erosion”?

A student mixes up the terms. Which pair is correctly matched?

Which set of statements is correct? 1. Weathering breaks rock down in situ. 2. Mass wasting is driven mainly by gravity. 3. Erosion includes removal and transport by moving agents. 4. Deposition always happens only on steep slopes.

A coastal village notices that after a storm the beach becomes wider in one area but narrower in another. Which explanation is most reasonable?

A river section flows through resistant bedrock and then through loose alluvium. With similar discharge, which pattern is most likely?

A steep cliff is undercut by waves, then collapses and deposits blocks at the base. Which option best links processes to outcomes?

Which is the best summary of denudation processes?

What is the mnemonic for remembering the denudation process in correct order?
