100
This is the process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another.
What is erosion.
100
This is the process that lays down sediment in a new location.
What is deposition.
100
This type spreads out over a large island or continent (and are much larger and thicker).
What is a continental glacier.
100
Ocean waves contain energy that is transferred to them by this, as it moves across the surface.
What is wind.
100
Mass movement is caused by this.
What is gravity.
200
This is the major agent of erosion that shapes Earth's land surface.
What is moving water.
200
This forms when waves drop the sediment they carry on the shore.
What are beaches.
200
This type forms when ice and snow build up in a mountain valley.
What is a valley glacier.
200
When waves erode this, the shoreline will get evened out.
What is a headland.
200
This was the times in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of Earth's land surface.
What were the Ice Ages.
300
These TWO are agents of erosion that move sediment from one location to another.
What are wind and water.
300
This forms when longshore drift carries sediment down the beach and deposits sediment at an obstacle.
What is a spit.
300
This is evidence that an area was once covered by a glacier.
What is a U-shaped valley.
300
This process is when waves repeatedly hit the beach and some of the beach sediment moves down the beach with the current.
What is longshore drift.
300
This is the force that moves sediment in a landslide or mudflow.
What is gravity.
400
This landform may eventually result when waves erode the soft rock along the base of a steep coast so much that the rock above collapses.
What is a wave-cut cliff.
400
This is a wind-formed deposit made of fine particles of clay and silt.
What are loess deposits.
400
This is the process in which rock fragments are picked up or freeze to the bottom of a glacier and then are carried away when the glacier moves.
What is plucking.
400
This is formed when waves erode a sea arch and the arch collapses.
What is a sea stack.
400
This process is the main way that the wind erodes the land.
What is deflation.
500
These may develop when waves erode headlands.
What are sea arches or caves.
500
This is formed by deposition when sand carried by incoming storm waves piles up parallel to shore and above sea level.
What is a barrier beach.
500
In this process, the rocks dragged by glaciers produce grooves and scratches in bedrock, which causes the rock to wear away and become smaller.
What is abrasion?
500
This is the order that the following features would probably form... sea stack sea cave headland cliff sea arch
What are... cliff headland sea cave sea arch sea stack
500
These are some processes that we can observe today that provide clues to Earth's past.
What are erosion, deposition, glaciers, wind, water (waves).
