Process that builds up features on Earth's surface is this.
What is a constructive process?
100
This is a broad c-shaped curve in a stream.
What is a meander?
100
The downhill movement of a large mass of rocks or soil because of the pull of gravity.
What is mass wasting?
100
Two examples of landforms created by wind deposition include ...
What is a loess or a sand dunes?
200
Agents of erosion include ...
What are water, wind, glaciers, and gravity? (Erosion agents: water, wind, glaciers, and gravity, Weathering agents: water, wind, ice, animals/plants)

An example of a constructive process on Earth's surface is ...
What is lava erupting, deposition, ...
200
This is known as a current that flows parallel to the shoreline.
What is a longshore current?
200
Characteristics of a mass wasting event include these two things.
What is 1. Material moves in bulk or a large mass, and 2. Gravity is dominant cause of movement?
200
Two examples of depositional landforms created by water include ...
What are deltas, alluvial fans, stalactites, stalagmites, ...
300
Factors that affect the rate of erosion include ...
What is weather, climate, topography, and type of rock?
300
A process that tears down features on Earth's surface is known as this.
What is a destructive process?
300
Groundwater erosion can form this type of landform.
What is a cave?
300
The rapid downhill movement of soil, loose rocks, and boulders.
What is a landslide?
300
Two examples of landforms created by wind erosion include ...
What are sea cliffs, mountains, hoodoos, ...
400
The laying down or settling of eroded material is known as ...
What is deposition?
400
Breakdown of rock due to physical process of breaking rocks into pieces is known as this.
What is mechanical weathering?
400
DAILY DOUBLE Differences in young, mature, and old streams include this.
DAILY DOUBLE What is young stream = fast flow, down mountainside, creates v-shaped valleys, mature stream = gentler slope, slower moving water creates meanders, old stream = flat land, moves even slower, creates more meanders
400
Pile of angular rocks and sediment from a rockfall.
What is talus?
400
Two examples of landforms created by water erosion include ...
What are meanders, shorelines, sea caves, ...
500
Well-sorted sediments are created in this type of environment.
What is high-energy environment? (Like a rushing river, ocean shores with large waves, deserts with strong winds)
500
This destructive process changes the chemical composition of rocks.
What is chemical weathering?
500
People can reduce erosion by doing this...
What is... building retaining walls along beaches, planting sea oats on dunes, planting vegetation on steep land pieces, planting trees around farmland?
500
This is a large mass of ice that formed on land and moves slowly across Earth's surface.
What is a glacier?
500
How do erosion and deposition shape Earth's surface?
Erosion - shapes mountains, shapes shorelines, sea cliffs/sea caves, hoodoos Deposition - sand dunes, deltas, alluvial fan
