Question

#9.) a sudden and violent movement of a tectonic plate could cause a(n) * 2 points

a. earthquake
b. tsunami
c. all of the above

#10.) this type of weathering is the result of a physical process, like the freeze - thaw cycle. * 2 points
a. mechanical weathering
b. chemical weathering

#11.) a large, slow moving, sheet of ice that erodes the land beneath it is * 2 points
known as a ___.
a. glacier
b. plateau

Explanation:

• For question 9, sudden and violent tectonic - plate movements can cause earthquakes directly and can also trigger tsunamis, so both are possible results.
• For question 10, mechanical weathering involves physical processes like the freeze - thaw cycle. Chemical weathering involves chemical reactions.
• For question 11, a large, slow - moving sheet of ice that erodes land is a glacier. A plateau is a flat, elevated landform.

Answer:

• #9. c. All of the above
• #10. a. mechanical weathering
• #11. a. glacier
