The satellite photograph below shows a large meteorite crater that is 1,500 m in diameter and 190 m deep. This crater is located in a flat, arid part of northeastern Arizona.
How is this crater least likely to change over time?
Abigail and Hailey are playing by the train tracks when they accidentally lose their new model plane in the nearby river. Luckily, the plane floats, but is carried away by the river current.
In which direction should they travel to retrieve the plane as it is carried to the ocean?

The satellite image below shows a ship channel between South Padre Island and Boca Chica beach in South Texas.
Sand is sometimes removed from the ship channel through a process called dredging to make it easier for ships to travel through. Recently sand from the bottom of the channel was moved to area beaches. If dredging increases and the transfer of sand continues, what would most likely occur in the area in the future?
The ship channel would become and the beach would .
