Drag the images in the correct order. 

How did the Alps form?

Right or wrong?
The Alps were created by plate tectonics.

1. Right
2. Wrong

Which two plates play an important role in the formation of the Alps

What is the difference between exogenic and endogenic forces?

What are the differences between a young and a old mountain range?

The Alps are an ...

1. Young mountain range
2. Old mountain range

Young mountain range

Old mountain range

Alps

Ardennes

High

Sharp peaks

Steep slopes

are lower

Rounded tops

Gentle slopes

Deep valleys

Hardly any wethering and erosion

A lot of wethering and erosion

Hundreds of millions of years

Ten millions of years

Mechanical weathering

Chemical weathering

Biological weathering

Weathering, what is correct?

1. Weathering by frost is mechanical weathering
2. Weathering causes rock to be transported to another place
3. Temperature fluctuations cause weathering
4. Reaction of rock with oxygen and/or water is mechanical weathering

Sedimentation

Weathering

Erosion

What is a faultmountainrange?

1. Mountain range created by bending of the earth's crust
2. Mountain range created by flattening the earth's crust

Erosion is...

1. the disintegration of rock
2. dissolving rock
3. the abrasive and transporting effect of wind, water and ice
4. Leaving sediment behind

Erosion

1. Endogenic force
2. Exogenic force

Folding mountains are created by

1. Convergent movement
2. Divergent movement

What kind of weathering causes caves?

1. Mechanical weathering
2. Chemical weathering

What kind of weathering do you see in the image on the right?

1. Mechanical weathering
2. Chemical weathering

The type of rock in the rock cycle that is solidified magma.

1. sedimentary
2. igneous
3. metamorphic

In the rock cycle, rocks are broken down into sediments. This happens because of these processes:

1. Heat and pressure
2. Pressure and cementation
3. Weathering and erosion
4. Melting
