The process in which sediment is dropped or deposited in a new location
Deposition
What are the 4 agents of erosion?
Wind, Water, Ice, and Gravity
Which geologic process forms beaches on the shore of a bay?
Depositon
What type of map is this?
Topographic Map
What does GPS stand for
Global Positioning System
A large mass of moving ice on land
Glacier
What is one geologic process that is responsible for forming Hoodoos?
Erosion and Weathering
When a river is carrying eroded sediment, what causes the sediment to finally begin to drop and be deposited?
When the speed of the water decreases
Concentric circles that get smaller and smaller
Where are satellite images taken from
Space
The process in which sediment is moved from one place to another
Erosion
Explain the erosion rate between these two stones over time
The sandstone will erode much faster because it is not as hard or dense
What landform is being created in the satellite image below?
DELTA
How are very steep areas represented on a topographic map?
Contour lines that are spaced very close together
What could satellite images help us study on Earth's surface
Many answers possible
Lines on a topographic map that connect points of equal elevation
Contour lines
Which graph accurately shows the relationship for velocity between a river and the body of water it enters into?
B
Which moraine formed when the glacier reached it's maximum advance?
M
Which landform matches each labeled section on the map?
Left to Right: Mountain, Canyon, Delta
How can satellite images help us study glaciers
They can help track glacier movement/retreat over time
A deposit of unsorted rock debris, including boulders, gravel, sand, and clay, that was carried and left behind by a moving glacier
Moraine
Which agent of erosion is responsible for forming valleys and canyons?
Water/Rivers
Location 4
Identify the process of how each of these features was made
Left to Right: Plate movement, Erosion, Deposition
How can this satellite image, taken of the same location a year apart be used
It is used to study flooding and increased water in the area
