Earth Processes Practice Tests
These Grade 4 Science practice tests help students explain how Earth materials change and move. Students identify weathering, erosion, deposition, sediment, the effects of water, wind, ice, and gravity, landform changes, scientific models, and ways to reduce erosion.
Skills covered
- Distinguishing weathering, erosion, and deposition
- Explaining how water, wind, ice, and gravity move Earth materials
- Connecting erosion and deposition to valleys, deltas, beaches, dunes, and floodplains
- Using observations and models to investigate Earth processes
- Identifying variables, evidence, predictions, and conclusions
- Describing ways plants and engineering designs can reduce erosion
How to use these practice tests
First decide whether Earth material is being broken down, moved, or dropped. Then identify the force involved and look for evidence such as sediment, runoff, channels, slopes, plants, or changing landforms. Remember that many Earth processes happen slowly over time.
