  1. 1Which process of erosion matches with the definition?

    The force of the water breaks particles away from the river channel.
    1. AHydraulic action
    2. BAbrasion
    3. CAttrition
    4. DSaltation
  2. 2Abrasion is when eroded rocks smash into each other and break into smaller fragments.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  3. 3[blank_start]Abrasion[blank_end] is what happens when eroded rocks are [blank_start]picked[blank_end] up by the river. They scrape and rub against the river [blank_start]channel[blank_end], wearing it away. The [blank_start]most[blank_end] erosion happens this way.
    1. AAbrasion
    2. BAttrition
    3. CSaltation
    4. DHydraulic Action
    5. Epicked
    6. Feroded
    7. Gsmashed
    8. Hbroken
    9. Ichannel
    10. Jvalley
    11. Kmost
    12. Lleast
  4. 4Which is the definition of 'solution' (in terms of erosion)?
    1. AThe force of the water breaks particles away from the river channel.
    2. BSome types of rocks are dissolved, for example, chalk and limestone.
    3. CEroded rocks smash into each other and break into smaller fragments.
  5. 5[blank_start]Hydraulic action[blank_end] is when the force of the [blank_start]water[blank_end] [blank_start]breaks[blank_end] particles [blank_start]away from[blank_end] the river [blank_start]channel[blank_end].
    1. AHydraulic action
    2. BAttrition
    3. CAbrasion
    4. DSolution
    5. Ewater
    6. Fearthquake
    7. Gearth
    8. Hwind
    9. Ichannel
    10. Jvalley
    11. Kbank
    12. Laway from
    13. Minto
    14. Nbreaks
    15. Osmashes
  6. 6Traction is when large particles like boulders are pushed along the river bed by the force of the water.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  7. 7Saltation is when small particles like silt and clay are carried along in the water.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  8. 8Match the definition with the correct word: Pebble sized particles are bounced along the river bed by the force of the water.
    1. ASaltation
    2. Bsuspension
    3. Ctraction
    4. Dsolution
  9. 9[blank_start]Transportation[blank_end] is the [blank_start]movement[blank_end] of eroded [blank_start]material[blank_end].
    1. ATransportation
  10. 10[blank_start]Suspension[blank_end] is when small [blank_start]particles[blank_end] such as [blank_start]silt[blank_end] and clay are [blank_start]carried[blank_end] along in the [blank_start]river[blank_end] water.
    1. ASuspension
    2. Bsaltation
    3. Csolution
    4. Dtraction
    5. Ethings
    6. Flimestone
