What is sand dune?
A hill of sand that is deposited by the wind.
What is a mineral?
A solid natural material that has a crystal form and its own set of properties.
What is Alternative Energy Resource?
Energy Generated By Natural Processes That Is Renewable.
What is a fossil?
organisms that lived a long time ago
What is Weathering?
The process of breaking down and wearing away rock.
Explain what is a valley.
A landform that forms when rivers or glaciers wear away rock and soil.
What are sediments?

Explain What Is Hydroelectric Power?
Electricity That Is Produced Using The Energy Of water Moving Through A Dam.
What is a non-renewable resource?
Resources that cannot be replaced in a human's lifetime.
What is Deposition?
The process in which materials eroded by water, wind, or ice are dropped in a new place.
What is a glacier?

Explain what Delta is.
A large flat area of land at the mouth of a river.
What landform?
A natural structure on Earth’s surface.
What is compaction?
