Oh, I Get It Now
Mass Movements
100

The process of dropping sediment in a new location.

What is deposition?

100
The Colorado River helped to create this landform by cutting into the surface and carrying away silt and other debris.
What is The Grand Canyon
100
The process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface, and deposited in other locations.
What is erosion?
100

When people walk over the same path of grass everyday, this is what occurs.

What is mechanical weathering?

100
the most dangerous of all massmovement.
Landslide
200
The physical breakdown of an object into smaller components without changing its chemical composition.
What is mechanical weathering?
200

As water flows over rock, it weathers the soft rock that is lower than the hard rock, having the water drop over what we call?

What is waterfall

200
This cause of erosion is most likely to be found in hot, dry regions.
What is wind?
200

If I drink too much pop and don't brush properly, "this" will occur.

What is chemical weathering?

200
steep cliff where a piece of the cliff suddenly falls off
What is a slump?
300
This happens before erosion takes place.
What is weathering?
300
The breakdown of offshore rocks and erosion of sea cliffs leads to the deposition of material to form these.
What are beaches?
300
Tiny pieces of broken rock.
What is sediment?
300

After dunking Oreos in milk there are very small pieces of cookie at the bottom of the glass, which is a great example of this.

What is sediment?

300
gentle form of mass movement
What is Creep?
400
Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acids are significant agents of this.
What is chemical weathering?
400
These are formed when a flowing body of water reaches a larger body of water and slows down, depositing sediment.
What are deltas?
400
The slow movement of sediment down an incline.
What is creep?
400

This can be seen when snow plows push snow off the road and it builds up on the curb.

What is deposition?

400
consist of water saturated dirt that moves with great and devastating speed
What is Mudflow or mudslide?
500
This is a form of chemical weathering when iron combines with oxygen to make rust.
What is oxidation?
500
formed our land 10,000 years ago?
What is Glaciers?
500
small rocks, clay and silt that moves with a glacier
What is till?
500

Forms Caves or Sinkholes

What is Ground Water Erosion?

500

Mass movement is due to what force?

What is gravity?
