100
When agents of erosion drop sediments they are carrying as they lose energy.
What is deposition?
100
A stream or river that flows into another stream
What is a tributary?
100
Force that pulls rock and soil down slopes.
What is gravity?
100
A ridge formed by the till left by a glacier where it begins to receed
What is a moraine?
100
A large mass of ice and snow moving on land under its own weight
What is a glacier?
200
tiny groove in soil made by flowing water
What is a till?
200
River features that forms when a river flows from an area of harder rock to an area of softer rock that wears away.
What is a waterfall?
200
Material moved by erosion.
What is sediment?
200
The process by which a glacier picks up rocks.
What is plucking?
200
The evidence of glacier erosion on rocks.
What are striations or grooves?
300
Meander cut off from a river
What is an Oxbow Lake?
300
A large stream that flows across a flood plain.
What is a river?
300
Four types of mass movement.
What are slump, creep, rockfall/rockslide and mudslide?
300
The two types of glaciers
What are valley and continental glaciers?
300
The sediment deposited by a glacier.
What is till?
400
Sediment landform formed when a river flows into an ocean or lake.
What is a delta?
400
The high point of land between two drainage basins.
What is a Divide?
400
Results in gravestones and fenceposts tilting at odd angles.
What is creep?
400
It covers much of the island of Greenland.
What is continental glacier?
400
Time in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of earth's surface.
What is an ice age?
500
One or more of several processes that moves sediment downhill.
What is mass movement?
500
The land area from which a river and its tributaries collect their water
What is a drainage basin?
500
A kind of mass movement that occurs when rock and soil slide rapidly down a steep slope.
What is a rockslide?
500
The type of glacial erosion that causes deep scratches in bedrock.
What is abrasion?
500
When the amount of snow exceeds the amount of snow melt or rain this forms.
