Landling — Landforms Change Over Time Deepfold Cavern

Hi!

I'm Landling.

Welcome to Deepfold Cavern!

Will you help me investigate landforms change over time?

The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.

Let's check the evidence!

Landscapes change through interacting processes.

Uplift, flowing water, wind, ice

and gravity can change landforms at different speeds.

Which comparison is useful evidence?

  • A. A single map with no date
  • B. Same-scale maps from two dates
  • C. Two unrelated colors without a key

The answer is B: Same-scale maps from two dates

Compare maps made at different times using the same key and scale.

A changed river channel is evidence of change;

a different drawing color alone may not be.

That clue helps us make sense of this place.

Compare maps made at different times using the same key and scale.

A changed river channel is evidence of change;

a different drawing color alone may not be.

Can landforms change both rapidly and slowly?

  • A. Yes
  • B. Only slowly
  • C. Only rapidly

The answer is A: Yes

Landscapes change through interacting processes.

Uplift, flowing water, wind, ice

and gravity can change landforms at different speeds.

Hmm...

how does that connect to our first clue?

Our earlier map shows a path beside a river.

The later survey marks part of that path washed away

and a maintained route farther uphill.

Use the latest surveyed route to plan our fictional trip.

Which route fits the later survey?

  • A. The washed-away path
  • B. The route removed by flooding
  • C. The maintained uphill route

The answer is C: The maintained uphill route

Our earlier map shows a path beside a river.

The later survey marks part of that path washed away

and a maintained route farther uphill.

Use the latest surveyed route to plan our fictional trip.

Nice investigating!
