What are constructive Processes
These are what carve v-shaped valleys into the Earth's land
What are Rivers
This force is the dominant cause of mass wasting
What is gravity
These are glaciers that cover over 50000km2
Features on Earth's surface that are formed by natural processes
What are landforms
Landforms created by this destructive process are typically tall and jagged
What is erosion
Water moves from _______ elevation to _______ elevation
What is high to low
If gravity is ___________ then the forces that are holding soil and rocks in place mass wasting will not happen
what is weaker
This is a mound or ridge of unsorted sediment deposited by a glacier
What is a moraine
What are water wind and ice
What are beds
Slow moving water deposits sediment in this part of a river.
(be as specific as possible)
What is the inside of a meander
These are defined the rapid downhill movement of soil, loose rocks, and boulders
What are landslides
This is a sharp ridge of rock formed between two glaciers
What is an arete
This is the water present beneath Earth's surface in rock and soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.
What is groundwater
Swamps, beaches, and deltas are examples of this type of geological feature on Earth
What are Depositional Environments
This is a large deposit of sediment that forms where a river meets a large body of water
What is a delta
This is the purposeful removal of trees and vegetation from an area
What is deforestation
This forms when smaller glaciers at higher elevation approaches a large valley carved by a much larger glacier.
What are rivers
This process is when rocks bump into each other as they are transported and become smoother
What is Rounding
Coastal action of waves can create these landforms
(be specific)
What are sea caves, sea arches, sea pillars/stacks
This is a pile of angular rocks and sediment created from a rockfall
What is a Talus
This is a long, narrow sea inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier
Fjord
This is a mixture of various sizes of sediment deposited by a glacier
What is a Till
