multiple choice 2 points
the term \landform\ refers to:
the end result of rocks transforming from one type to another
the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points on a landscape
the science of studying topographic features such as hills, mountains, and plains
a distinct topographic feature, such as a hill, mountain, or plain
multiple choice 2 points
which statement best describes how a conglomerate rock is formed? (pictured below)
it results from sedimentary rocks quickly cooling at the surface
it results from sandstone undergoing heat and pressure
it results from the deposition and cementation of rock fragments
it results from the evaporation of water

Explanation:

• Question 9: A landform is a distinct topographic feature. The first option refers to rock cycle concepts, the second is about relief (elevation difference), and the third is the study of landforms (geomorphology), not the definition of landform itself.
• Question 10: Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks form from deposition and cementation of sediments (rock fragments, minerals, etc.). Option 1 is incorrect as quick - cooling forms igneous rocks (extrusive). Option 2 describes metamorphism (sandstone to quartzite). Option 4 is related to evaporite formation (like halite), not conglomerate.

Answer:

• Question 9: D. a distinct topographic feature, such as a hill, mountain, or plain
• Question 10: C. it results from the deposition and cementation of rock fragments
