Key Concepts Covered

➡️ Erosion and transport – understanding how natural agents like water, wind, and glaciers move sediments and shape landforms
➡️ Landforms resulting from erosion – features such as valleys, moraines, and dunes that indicate erosion activity
➡️ Sediment sorting and deposition – processes used by rivers, glaciers, and wind to deposit sediments in different environments
➡️ Signatures of glacial and fluvial activity – understanding how to recognize geological features left behind by these agents

Question Types / Formats

1. Reading comprehension passage – interpret and relate geological concepts to real-world examples
2. True or false statements – test factual understanding of erosion processes
3. Multiple choice questions – assess knowledge of specific landforms and agents of erosion
4. Fill-in-the-blanks – reinforce technical vocabulary and cause-effect relationships
5. Short answer questions – develop critical thinking and explanatory skills about landscape evolution
