Rapid earth changes

Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) or slowly (erosion, mountain building)

A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

Which pair lists two Earth events that can happen quickly?

Question 2 of 3

You read three short descriptions about different Earth events. One says a rainstorm that lasts only a few minutes. Another says a river slowly carving a canyon over many years. The third says a volcano erupting in a few hours. Which description shows that Earth can change slowly?

Question 3 of 3

Ms. Lee looks at three different sources about Earth events. One source is a video that shows a volcano erupting and the lava flowing for only a few minutes. Another source is a picture of a river that has carved a deep canyon over many years. A third source is a chart that shows a glacier getting smaller over several decades. Which source gives evidence that an Earth event can happen quickly?
