Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.112 Deposition and Landforms skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which scenario correctly connects process, landform, and sediment pattern?

AA canyon stream steepens at a mountain front, gains energy, and deposits only clay in a circular sinkhole.

BWind slows behind grass, deposits clay in overbank sheets, and builds a deep-ocean trench.

CA river slows entering a lake, deposits sand and mud in distributary channels, and builds a delta with layered sediment.

DWaves speed up along a coast, melt quartz, and build a volcanic cone from sand.

Solution & Explanation:The correct scenario links reduced river energy, sediment deposition, distributary channels, and layered delta growth. The distractors mismatch agents, processes, and landforms.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the beach-dune cross-section. Wind arrows move from the beach toward inland vegetation, and sand piles behind the vegetation line. What process is shown?

AWaves deposit all dune sand directly below the water table.

BRiver water creates a delta behind the vegetation line.

CWind transports beach sand inland and deposits it where vegetation slows the wind, building dunes.

DVegetation speeds the wind so sand cannot accumulate.

Solution & Explanation:Coastal dunes can form when wind moves sand from the beach and deposits it around obstacles such as vegetation.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A model places maximum deposition at the fastest part of a river and minimum deposition where the river enters a lake. Which correction would best improve the model?

AShow deposition controlled only by sediment color, not flow energy.

BShow more deposition where water slows, especially at the lake entrance, and less where flow is fastest.

CRemove sediment from the model because rivers cannot transport particles.

DPlace all deposition only in the atmosphere above the river.

Solution & Explanation:Deposition is favored where transport energy decreases, such as at a river-lake transition, while faster flow tends to transport or erode sediment.
