This is the difference between a constructive process and a destructive process.
What is a constructive process builds up Earth's surface whereas a destructive process tears down features on Earth's surface.

What are the three development stages of a stream and what kind of landform does each flow on?
What are young, mature, and old? Young flows on mountains, mature flows on gentler slopes and old flows on flat plains.
100
These are the two types of glaciers.
What are alpine glaciers and ice sheets.
100
This is a large deposit of sediment that forms where a stream enters a large body of water.
What is a delta?
100
These are the features that suggest whether a landform was produced by erosion or deposition.
What is erosion produces landforms that are tall and jagged while deposition produces landforms that are flat and low.
200
What is the one factor that affects the rate of weathering?
What is mineral composition?
200
This is how water erosion changes Earth's surface.
What is a longshore current moves sediment and continually changes the size and shape of beaches. Features such as sea caves, sea arches, and sea stacks can form with the cutting action of waves on less resistant rocks.
200
These are the four types of mass wasting.
What are rockfall, mudslide, creep, and slump?
200
This is the removal of weathered material from one location to another.
What is erosion?
200
This is the slowest type of mass wasting event.
What is a creep?
300
These are the four factors that affect the rate of erosion?
What are weather, climate, topography, and type of rock?
300
This is how water erosion forms a sea cavern.
What is rain water and carbon dioxide mix to produce acid rain which in turn become groundwater? This groundwater then dissolves limestone to form a sea cavern.
300
This is how glaciers erode Earth's surface.
What is they can create certain erosional features and they act as bulldozers and carve the land as they move.
300
Define talus.
What is a pile of angular rocks and sediment from a rockfall.
300
How can erosion sort sediment?
What is by different properties such as size?
400
This is how erosion affects the shape of sediment.
What is erosion causes rock fragments to bump into each other and causes rocks to be more polished or rounded? These rock fragments can then range from being poorly rounded to well-rounded.
400
These are two ways people can protect against beach erosion.
What are (a combination of) building retention walls/groins, protecting dunes, and protecting mangrove trees?
400
This is how an outwash is different from a moraine.
What is a moraine is a mound or ridge of unsorted sediment whereas an outwash is layered sediment deposited by streams of water?
400
This is the difference between a dune and a loess.
What is a dune is a pile of windblown sand whereas a loess is a windblown deposit of silt and clay.
400
Sediment is transported parallel to the shoreline by a _____________.
What is a longshore current?
500
This is how an alluvial fan forms.
What is a stream flows where a stream flows from a steep, narrow canyons onto a flat plain at the foot of a montain?
500
This is how wind erosion and deposition change Earth's surface.
What is wind erosion leads to the grinding away of rock and other surfaces through abrasion while wind deposition leads the formation of dunes and loess.
500
These are two ways humans can increase the chances of mass wasting.
What are by removing vegetation and by using heavy machinery or blasting that can shake the ground?
500
The are the two important parts to the definition of mass wasting.
What are the material moves in bulk as a large mass and gravity is the dominant cause of movement.
500
Name one advantage and one disadvantage of farming on a floodplain.
What is an advantage brings minerals to the soil and a disadvantage is that crops can get flooded?
