What is a Mass movement
A downhill movement of rock and soil because of gravity
100
What is landforms?
Landforms are physical features on Earth surface.
100
What is weathering ?
Weathering is the process of breaking rocks into silt, sand, clay, and other tiny pieces calles sediment.
100
What are the two kinds of glaciers?
Valley and Continental
100
Name the three types of Mass movement.
Creep, Landslides, and Mudslides.
200
Which two mass movement change landforms quickly?
Landslides and mudslides
200
Name three examples of landforms.
Canyons, rock cliffs, beaches, mountains, volcanoes, etc
200
What is the important agent of weathering?
Water
200
What are glaciers, and where are they mostly likely to fall?
Thick sheets of ice, that forms in areas where more snow fall.
200
What is Mass movement, and how is it caused?
The downhill movement of rocks and soil caused by gravity.
300
Mudslides moves ___________ soil and Landslides moves __________ soil.
Wet and Dry
300
What can cause landforms to change?
Wind, water, glaciers, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes.
300
What are the surface processes that change landforms.
Weathering, erosion, and deposition.
300

What two landforms are formed by water or glaciers?

U- shaped Valleys, and Terminal moraines

300
What is a dam?
A man made structure that regulates the flow of water.
400
Name three kind of mass movement.
Mudslides, Landslides, and creep
400
What forces cause sudden changes to landforms.
Earthquakes, hurricanes, volcano erupting, sinkholes, mudslide, etc
400
What is the difference between erosion and deposition
Erosion moves sediment from place to place, and deposition drop sediment in a new location
400
What are the three distinct layers of earth, and describe the one which we live?
Crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outer layer. It is thin and made of rocks.
400
What are the three types of Volcanoes?
Shield , Cinder cone, and Composite.
500
What causes mass movement to move?
Gravity
500
What are surface processes that change landforms
Weathering, erosion, and deposition.
500
What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering breaks rock into sediment. erosion moves sediment from one place to another.
500
What parts of Earth is solid?
The crust, the upper part of the mantle, and the inner core.
500
What are the three types of volcanoes made of?
Shield is made of Lava. Cinder cone is made of Ash. Composite is made of Lava and Ash.
