The process of moving earth materials by wind, water, and ice.
What is erosion?

The process of placing of earth materials after they have been eroded by wind, water, and ice.
What is deposition?
100
After many, many years, the letters on me and my edges become hard to read and worn.
What is a tombstone?
100
Natural processes that cause the surface of our earth to constantly change.
What is weathering, erosion, and deposition?
200
I cause rocks, pebbles, shells, and other earth materials to get smaller and smaller from all the movement I cause on beaches.
What are waves?
200
I cause great, deep canyons and valleys to be made because of all the earth materials that get moved downhill in the water cursing through my channel.
What is a stream or river?
200
I am formed by deposition at the end of a stream or river when there is no more erosion happening.
What is a delta?
200
I am a cute little stuffed animal that got carried downhill in a river and eventually found at the bottom of the mountain.
What is Fluffy?
200
You used this tool to show how wind can move (erode) sand and you can also use it to drink a glass of Pepsi.
What is a straw.
300
My nose may fall off if water gets into cracks in the granite rock and ice makes the cracks bigger.
What is Mt. Rushmore?
300
I am a giant sheet of moving ice, that moves small and large pieces of earth materials downhill and dig-out rocks and valleys.
What is a glacier?

I am caused by wind blown earth materials being deposited into great big piles of sand and dirt, sometimes hundreds of feet tall.
What are sand dunes?
300
In the sandblaster lab, the only thing that was changed from soft to hard blows through the straws was the force of air onto the pile of sand.

What is rain?
400
This part of the stream erodes faster because the water continually hits this as it moves downhill.
What is a channel?
400
This is a tool that Stream Scientists use to measure how fast water is moving in a stream and how much water is flowing in the stream.
What is flowmeter?
400
This part of the earth is responsible for earthquakes and volcanoes.
What is the crust?
500
I am a mysterious rock type that has very flat sides formed by many years of earth materials being blown on my exposed sides.
What is a ventifact?
500
Many rocks and dirt that fall quickly from a cliff, road cut, or mountain top can cause this and may close roads or fall on cars or people.
What is a rock slide?
500
Deposition of dissolved minerals in dripping water causes these to be formed inside caves.
What are stalagtites or stalagmites?
500
We use these to speed up time, observe natural processes in a safe environment, and to see larger or smaller versions of a natural object.
What is a model?
500
These are the different forms we see on the surface of the earth that are created by weathering, erosion, and deposition.
What are landforms?
