DIRECTIONS Please!
Water from a watershed flows in this direction
What is down?
When a natural process (such as Tsunamis, Earthquakes, or a Volcanic Eruption) destroys landforms.
What is destructive?
This V-shaped landform is formed by running water.
What is a valley?
You are most likely to experience this natural process in South Carolina during the warmer months.
What is a hurricane?
What are Tsunamis?
Tsunamis are primarily caused by this type of earthquake.
What is an underwater earthquake?
When a natural process (such as a deposition, landslides, or volcanic eruptions) creates new land.
What is constructive?
This landform is shaped like a fan
What is a delta?
This natural process can be destructive, as well as constructive and usually happens on a sloped hillside due to weathering, erosion, and gravity.
What is a landslide
Hurricanes can cause this destructive process to occur on sandy beaches.
What is erosion?
The natural process that happens when the wind blows sand in a desert, to build up a sand dune
What is deposition?
This natural process is thought to have formed the majority of the earth's crust.
What is a volcanic eruption?
This can be described as all of the land that water flows over or through before reaching a lake or river?
What is a watershed?
OR
What is a drainage basin?
Acid Rain is a type of this natural process
What is Chemical Weathering?
Deltas are formed by this natural process
What is deposition?
The downhill movement of water as it flows to the ocean shapes the appearance of this
What is the land?
This landform is created when deposition from a river enters a pond or ocean.
What is a delta?
Water in a watershed flows in this shape or motion
What is a funnel shape?
This natural process is seen when Tsunmais or floodwaters from hurricanes wash away beaches.
What is erosion?
Underwater earthquakes can cause this destructive process
What is a Tsunami?
This force (hint discovered by Sir Issac Newton), in addition to weathering and erosion, can cause rocks and soil to roll/fall down a mountain or hillside?
What is gravity?
This landform has steep walls and is formed by erosion and weathering of soft rock caused by the movement of water in rivers.
What is a canyon?
This is the name of the geographic area where earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions most often happen.
What is the Ring of Fire?
This natural process causes rocks to wear down or break apart.
What is weathering?
This natural process can also cause an earthquake?
What is a volcanic eruption?
