1. tectonic compression

The anticlines and synclines are both physical features that occur in the crust because of tectonic compression. The movement of the tectonic plates causes enormous pressure on the crust. This pressure gradually manages to twist and bend the crust, so much so that if the crust is cut through it will look like waves, or having a snake-shape. The anticlines are the folds at which each half dips away from the fold, while the synclines are the folds when each half dips toward the trough of the fold.

2. that the crust was shearing in a right-lateral motion

The Wasatch fault is normal type of fault. It is divided into five segments which together have a length of around 240 km. This fault has started to form around 10,000 years ago, and it has produced lot of strong earthquakes. This fault occurred while the crust was shearing in a right-lateral motion, which actually managed to move the Wasatch Mountain toward east. The fault is still active at some parts, and considering that its surrounding is heavily populated and the area is covered with soft lake sediments, there can be a big disaster in the future.

3. Material moves down a slope parallel to the layers of the underlying bedrock

The transitional slides are types of mass movement. They occur on places where the layers are parallel to one another, and the top layer is moving, eventually falling down a slope. Even though the top material is parallel to the layers of the underlying bedrock, a saturation of the top material, or a side pressure can move it, gradually making it move on top of the underlying bedrock until it comes to the slope and crumbles down.

4. delta

When a larger river enters the sea its waters slow down, and eventually stop in the larger body of water where they mix and become part of it. As the river is getting closer to the sea, it gradually slows down, and as it slows down it loses its velocity. By losing its velocity the river is not capable to carry the large amounts of sediment with it, so it starts depositing them. Gradually the deposits of sediments build up and they interfere with the movement of the water of the river, so the river starts to branch out and the water starts to move into the spaces where there are less deposits. This creates a triangular shaped natural feature known as delta.

The right choices are

porosity

mineral softness

ease of dissolving  

Explanation:

Weathering is a natural phenomenon that breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transferred away by water, wind and ice from one place to another. Usually weathering depends upon the physical characteristics of rocks. Soft rocks are affected the most because their inter molecular attractions is not so hard and they can be easily broken by water and ice so we can say that solubility also affects the weathering. The porosity is also a factor because more porous means more empty spaces and lose force of attractions.

Answer to Q2

The rate of soil formation depends upon

warmer temperatures

very hard parent material

Explanation:

There are five factors responsible for soil development. They are: Climate, organisms, parent material, topography and time. When parent rock material is exposed to the atmosphere or when organic matter is deposited on the earth's surface, soil formation begins. Time. Climate, Temperature and moisture influence the speed of chemical reactions therefore soils develop faster in warm, moist climates and slowest in cold or arid ones.

Answer to Q3

The right choices are

dry climate

cold climate

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking big rocks into little ones. This process usually happens near the surface of the planet. Weathering occurs fastest in hot, wet climates and occurs very slowly in hot and dry climate because without temperature changes, ice wedging cannot occur theretofore in  very cold, dry areas, there is little weathering.

Answer to Q4

Gelisols  is the correct answer

Explanation:

Gelisols came from the Latin word gelare  which means to freeze. They are the soils that are permanently frozen. Gelisols are found in the Arctic and Antarctic, as well as at extremely high elevations. Gelisols are found chiefly in Siberia, Alaska and Canada and all of these areas lie in Arctic. So this is the correct option.

Answer to Q5  

The correct options are

plant growth

pressure release  

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces without changing the composition of the minerals in the rock. Ice wedging, pressure release, plant root growth, and abrasion are the major causes of mechanical weathering. Repeated heating and cooling of some rock types can cause rocks to stress and break, resulting in weathering and erosion.

Answer to Q6

clay

sand

silt

Explanation:

There are three categories for soil particles which are sand, silt and clay. These three groups are called soil separates. The three groups are divided by their particle size. Clay particles are the smallest, while sand particles are the largest particles found in soil. Slit is granular material of a size between sand and clay.  

Answer to Q7

The correct option is clay

Explanation:

Clay is one of the basic component of soil. Soil contains nutrients that are required for various processes of plant growth. Of all the mineral nutrients, nitrogen contributes the most to plant growth and crop production. Plants require nitrogen to form proteins, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, and other important organic molecules. This nitrogen is provided to plants by clay.

Answer to Q8

It undergoes the most change

Explanation:

Horizon B is also called Subsoil. It is mostly made of clay, iron minerals as well as organic matter, which has been washed down to this horizon by rainwater. This layer usually contain concentrations of clay minerals or of iron or aluminium oxides. Therefore this layer is more exposed to chemical reactions and undergoes most change because it is present between horizon A and horizon C.

Answer to Q9

The correct option is Texture

Explanation:

Texture is something related to shape. By definition texture is the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or a substance.The particles of soil have various sizes and shape. Some particles are round shaped and smooth edged while other are rough and tiny. The texture of soil is dependent upon the size of particles p[resent in the that sample of soil.

Answer to Q10  

Correct options are

Bedrock lies below the soil layers,  

Horizon O forms from organic material

Horizon C is least affected by the soil formation process.

Explanation;

Most soil profiles are composed of a series of horizons or layers of soil.

BUT DON'T FORGET what a horizon is- its a surface

horizon - fallen leaves and partially decomposed organic matter

A horizon - A surface mineral horizon, living organisms, and rock particles.

B horizon - A sub-surface horizon where depletion of organic matter and an accumulation of clay.  

C horizon - A layer of partially altered bedrock

Explanation:

E. This claim would constitute evidence that the asteroid is not monolithic.

Explanation:

The author claims that, if a crater created by an impact is greater than the radius of an asteroid, that asteroid cannot be monolithic, because the immense impact required to create such a crater would break a monolithic asteroid into pieces. Furthermore, most of the asteroids larger than a kilometer across are thought to be composed of small pieces.

I believe C is the correct answer; parent material is rich in nutrients for plants, and decomposed plant litter is also known as decaying organic material. Hope this helps! :)
