This is a deposit of till left behind by a retreating glacier.
What is a moraine?
100
This is the process in which transported material is laid down.
What is deposition?
100
This is the main force that shapes Earth's landscape.
What are streams/running water?
100
These are places where glaciers are found.
What are: Places cold enough for water to stay frozen year-round, in mountain ranges all over the world, and areas near the North and South Poles.
100
These are the two types of mass wasting that occur gradually.
What are creeps and slumps?
200
This is the characteristic weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.
What is climate?
200
This is the downhill movement of loose rock or soil?
What is mass wasting?
200
These glaciers, called ice sheets, are much larger than alpine glaciers.
What are continental glaciers?
200
This would be a reason that floodplains are good for growing crops.
What is fertile soil?
300
This is the zigzag movement of sand along a beach, caused by the action of the waves.
What is longshore drift?
300
This occurs when an open basin forms when the roof of a cavern has become so thin that it falls in.
What is a sinkhole?
300
This is an area of land in which water drains into a stream system.
What is a drainage basin?
300
Running water isn't the only thing that can cause erosion and change the way the Earth looks. These two things can also cause erosion. (Hint: Think of the beach)
What are wind and waves?
300
This would be a negative aspect of living in a floodplain.
What is risk of flooding, loss of crops, flood damage to home, etc.
400
This is the process in which sediment is picked up and moved from one place to another.
What is erosion?
400
These are ways in which erosion of weathered rock occurs.
What are water, ice, and wind?
400
This is a tubular sample that shows the layers of snow and ice that have built up over the years.
What is an ice core?
400
This is where most water in drainage basins eventually goes.
What is into a lake or ocean?
400
Some scientists study glaciers to learn more about the Earth and its processes. What is something scientists can find out by studying glaciers?
What is past climate conditions, climate patterns, future climate?
500
This is a continuous high line of land, or ridge, from which water drains to one side or the other.
What is a divide?
500
These are two examples of mass wasting.
What are landslides and rockfalls?
500
These are fan-shaped landforms that are formed by the deposition of sediment. (Hint: There are two)
What are deltas and alluvial fans?
500
These are usually found in high areas, such as a ridge-top. Water flows to either side of it.
What is a divide?
500
Bonus: This is what develops over time as a sandbar is formed in the ocean.
