What is a delta?
The shape of a valley formed by a glacier
The force of erosion most likely responible for this land formation
What is wind?
Dunes are created by this agent of erosion
What is wind?
The rock type that forms in layers through compaction and cementation
What is sedimentary?
In a meandering (curvy) stream, this is where erosion occurs in a curve.
What is the cutbank?
What we had left in the sand table after our "glacier" melted
What is an outwash plain?
How this large rock known as an erratic got to its present location
What is transported by a glacier?
The side of a dune opposite the wind
What is the slipface?
Heat and pressure form these types of rocks that have "change" as part of their name
What is metamorphic?
Smaller rivers or steams that feed into a larger river
What are tributaries?
The pile of rock and sediment pushed by and dumped at the end of a glacier
What is a moraine?
As the velocity and volume of water in a river increases, the size of the sediment it can transport (increases or decreases)
What is increases?
Removal of loose material from Earth's surface by wind
What is deflation?
These rocks form either on the Earth's surface or deep within from molten rock
What is igneous?
The shape of a valley formed by a river
What is V-shaped?
a lake formed when a chunk of glacial ice is buried by sediment and then melts, forming a depression that fills with water
What is a kettle lake?
The Finger Lakes and the Great Lakes were both formed by this force of erosion.
What are glaciers or continential ice sheets?
Thick deposits of wind-blown sand
What is loess?
What is calcite?
What is the floodplain?
Scratches on a rock that tell us the direction a glacier was moving
What are striations?
The hills and valleys throughout the Southern Tier and Catskill region were all formed by this agent of erosion.
What is running water or rivers/streams?
Abrasion is an example of what type of weathering, mechanical or chemical?
What is mechanical weathering?
What is a geologist?
