100
As water moves over the land, it carries particles with it
What is runoff?
100
When a glacier gathers sediments along its travels
What is plucking?
100
Part of a shore that sticks out into the ocean
What is headland?
100
True or False: Plant roots do help to anchor sand dunes in one place
What is True?
100
A loop like bend in the course of a river
What is meander?
200
A large groove, or channel, in the soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm
What is gully?
200
A small depression that forms when a chunk of ice is left in a glacial till
What is kettle?
200
The process whereby waves repeatedly hit the beach and some of the sediments move down the beach with the current
What is longshore drift?
200
Fine, wind-deposited sediments
What is loess?
200
A wide, slopping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range
What is alluvial fan?
300
Tiny grooves in the soil after a runoff occurs
What is rill?
300
When till deposits at the edges of a glacier and forms a ridge
What is moraine?
300
This forms as a result of of deposition by longshore drift; it is like a beach that projects out into the water
What is spit?
300
The shape of a sand dune is caused by the __________ (speed or direction) of the wind
What is the direction of the wind?
300
Sediments deposits where a river flows into an ocean or lake and builds up a landform
What is a delta?
400
A channel along which water is continually flowing down a slope
What is a stream?
400
This is made up of particles of many different sizes. It is also defined as: The mixture of sediments that a glacier deposits
What is till?
400
Incoming waves carrying sand create long ridges of sand parallel to the shore
What are sandbars?
400
The process by which wind removes surface materials
What is deflation?
400
A deposit of Calcite that hangs from the roof of a cave
What is a Stalactite?
500
A stream or river that flows into a larger river
What is tributary
500
Forms when the level of the sea rises, filling a valley once cut by a glacier
What is a Fiord?
500
Forms when storm waves pile up large amounts of sand above sea level, forming a long, narrow island parallel to the coast
What are barriers (barrier islands)?
500
When wind meets an obstacle, the result is usually a deposit of windblown sand
What is a sand dune?
500
Slow dripping of Calcite that deposits on the ground and forms into a cone-shaped
What is Stalagmite?
