Earth's History
100
Where most of Earth's fresh water is found.
What is groundwater?
100
the two types of weathering
What is mechanical and chemical?
100
The process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
What is deposition?
100
wind-blown sand deposits
What are dunes?
100
Deep currents are caused by differences in this.
What is density?
100
a type of organism that no longer exists
What is extinct?
200
depressions in the land which hold water
What is lakes and ponds?
200
three things that cause chemical and mechanical weathering
What is temperature, the availability of water, and the type of rock?
200
two features created by sediment deposited by flowing water
What is alluvial fans and deltas?
200
where glaciers form
What is places where snow falls more than melts every year?
200
In upwelling, when winds blow warm surface water aside, it allows this (from the deep ocean) to rise and take the place of warmer water.
What is cold water?
200
the units that eras are broken into
What are periods?
300
the purpose of tributaries
What is to collect runoff from surrounding land and channel it into rivers?
300
the force causing mass movement
What is gravity?
300
A stream's ability to erode depends mainly on this.
What is its speed?
300
Wind erodes the land these two ways.
What is deflation and abrasion?
300
This causes the continuous flow of surface currents.
What is winds blowing across the surface of the ocean?
300
Geologists use this to find the absolute age of rocks.
What is radioactive dating?
400
where a small portion of Earth's fresh water is located
What is the atmosphere, streams, and lakes?
400
the end product of erosion
What is sediment?
400
Four features formed from water erosion.
What is v-shaped valleys, waterfalls, meanders, and oxbow lakes?
400
the result of glaciers melting
What is depositing sediment to create new landforms?
400
the two physical processes responsible for wave erosion
What is hydraulic action and abrasion?
400
Sedimentary rocks form in this direction.
What is horizontally?
500
the five processes of the water cycle

What are evaporation, condensation, transpiration, precipitation, and return of flowing water to the ocean?

500
The type of rock hoodoos are formed from.
What is sedimentary rock?
500
two things formed from groundwater erosion
What is caves and sinkholes?
500
Glaciers gather and transport these two things.
What is rock and soil?
500
the two conditions that decrease with ocean depth and the one condition that increases
What is temperature and light (decrease) and pressure (increases)?
500
Geologists use the law of superposition to find the relative age of rock these two ways.
What is sequence of rock layers and fossils within each layer?
