The amount of water going over an area.
What is soil erosion?
200
When water goes from a liquid to a gas.
What is evaporation?
200
A break in the ice.
What is a crevace?
200
Large underground space that holds the magma of the volcano.
What is magma chamber?

300
All the sediment from a glacier.

the place where deposition takes place.
What is deltas?
400
Stream beds in deserts, also called washes.
What is arroyos?
