Question: 6
Robyn looks at a picture of a valley. The picture is shown.
Robyn claims that the landform was created through a destructive process. Which statement best supports Robyn's claim?
A. The landform was created by a glacier through the destructive process of erosion.
The landform has a U-shape which indicates the movement of sediment eroded by a glacier.
B. The landform was created by a glacier through the destructive process of deposition.
Deposition is a constructive process, not a destructive process. Sediment was removed to create the valley, not added to it.
C. The landform was created by water through the destructive process of sedimentation.
Sedimentation is a constructive process, not a destructive process. The valley was created by sediment erosion, not sediment being
added to it.
D. The landform was created by water through the destructive process of weathering.

Passage
Directions: Read the passage about weathering and erosion.
A student is learning about weathering and erosion at school. He reads in his textbook that weathering is defined as a process in which
rocks, minerals, and soil are broken down by the actions of wind, water, ice, chemical reactions, or living things. Erosion is the process that
Illuminate Itembank™. Stop: You have finished the assessment.
moves soil, rock particles, or dissolved materials from one location to another. The image below explains the difference between
https://ibx.illuminateed.com/#/assessment/1219116?printPreview=true 7/20
3/3/25, 7:09 AM Item Bank | DnA
weathering and erosion.
He also reads that there are three kinds of weathering:
mechanical weathering, which is caused by the physical breakdown of rocks, either by water, wind, or heat;
chemical weathering, which occurs when the rocks are decomposed or broken apart because of chemical reactions that break the
bonds that hold the rock together; and
biological weathering, which is caused by the action of microorganisms, animals, or plants that weaken and break the rocks.
Question: 7
Which force of erosion would most likely cause large amounts of loose soil to move down the slope of a hill?
A. heat
B. wind
C. water
D. chemical

Question: 15
Jimmy and Anna observe three ice cubes over a period of time. The picture shows what they observe.
Jimmy claims that ice cubes release heat when they melt. Anna claims that ice cubes absorb heat when they melt. Which statement identifies
the correct claim and provides support for the claim?
A. Anna is correct because as heat is absorbed, molecules start to move faster as the ice cubes change state from a solid to a liquid.
When ice melts, it undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid. The change in state occurs as the molecules absorb energy and start
to move faster.
B. Anna is correct because as heat is absorbed, molecules start to slow down as the ice cubes change state from a solid to a liquid.
Heat is absorbed when ice melts which causes the molecules start to move faster instead of slower.
Jimmy is correct because as heat is released, molecules start to move faster as the ice cubes change state from a solid to a
C.
liquid.
The ice cubes absorb heat, not release heat, as they melt which causes the molecules to move faster.
D. Jimmy is correct because as heat is released, molecules start to slow down as the ice cubes change state from a solid to a liquid.
The ice cubes absorb heat which causes the molecules to move faster.
