The document contains an 8 question quiz about various geological and hydrological processes including weathering, erosion, river formation, and the relationships between meanders and oxbow lakes. Each question provides multiple choice answers about topics such as the main types of weathering, how waterfalls are formed, and the difference between weathering and erosion. The document tracks whether answers are correct or incorrect and encourages retaking the quiz if many answers were wrong initially.

2. Question 1
Which definition best describes weathering?
a) The process that breaks down rocks by
nature.
b) The process that wears away rocks.
c) The process where rocks are washed away.
d) The process when chocolate is melted.

3. Question 2
a) Deposition
What
process
forms V-shaped
Valleys?
b)
Manufacturing
c)
Weathering
d) Erosion

4. Question 3
Freeze-thaw,
Garlic peel,
biological
and acid.
Biological,
heat –thaw,
erosion and
melt.
Freeze thaw,
biological,
onion skin
and chemical
What are the four main
types of weathering?
Chemical,
onion-skin,
biological
and sun-tan.

5. Question 4
The plunge pool
keeps getting deeper
and gradually, the
waterfall will move
backwards.
How are
waterfalls
formed?
The river that runs
off the ‘cliff’
slowly erodes the
softer rock at the
bottom of the
‘cliff’.
Soon, the
harder rock
won’t have
any support
and it breaks
off.
Which stage stated
below, is the first
stage in the process
that waterfalls are
formed by?

6. Question 5
How are
Meanders and
Oxbow lakes
related?
Meanders and
oxbow lakes
are both
types of
rivers.
When the materials
from a meander is
deposited onto the
banks, it slowly
starts to get more
round until the loop
that was once part
of the meander gets
cut off.
Over time, what
used to be an
oxbow lake
becomes a
meander
because of
erosion.
The shape of a
Meander and an
oxbow lake is so
similar, it
sometimes gets
mixed up.

7. Question 6
Name three
parts of a
river:
The mouth,
cone and
arm.
The watershed,
drainage basin
and entrance.
The
watershed,
mouth and
confluence.
The body,
drainage
basin and
junction.

8. Question 7

9. Question 8
What is the
difference
between
weathering and
erosion?
Weathering is when
particles and
materials are worn
down and washed
away while erosion is
when rocks are
broken down.
Erosion needs
the sun while
weathering
needs the rain.
Weathering is when
rocks are broken
down whereas
erosion is when
rocks are worn
down then washed
away.
There is no
difference-weathering
and
erosion are the
same.
