100
The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil to another place
What is erosion?
100
1. Water that moves over earths surface 2. Potential and kinetic
1. What is runoff? 2. What is the two kinds of energy a river has?
100
Plucking
What is when a glacier picks up rocks?
100
Wind
What is where the energy waves have, comes from?
100
A deposit of wind blown sand
What is a sanddune?
200
Gravity
What is what causes mass movement?
200
1.Gullies 2. Sediment is washed in, abrasion, sediment erodes from the bottom of the river
1.What is many rills flowing into one? 2. What are the ways a river obtains sediment?
200
Ice Age
What is the time when glaciers covered the earth?
200
Impact and abrasion
What is the two ways waves erode?
200
Deflation, and abrasion
What is the two ways wind causes erosion?
300
Slumps, mudflows, creeps, and landslides
What is the four kinds of mass movement?
300
1. Stream 2. The amount of sediment in a river
1.What are gullies joined together? 2.What is load?
300
Moraines and Kettles
What is 2 landforms created by glaciers with the help of till?
300
When waves deposit sediment
What is how waves shape a coastline?
300
When wind slows or an obsticle traps the windblown sediment
What is when sediment falls to the ground?
400
Landslides
What is the most devistating kind of mass movement?
400
1.A wide sloping deposit of sediment 2.Gravity
1.What is an alluvial fan? 2. What causes the movement of water across earths surface?
400
One covers small valleys, the other can cover whole continents
What is the difference between continental, and valley glaciers?
400
Beaches, spits, and barrier beaches
What is coastal features formed by depostion?
400
Sediment that is finer than sand
What is loess?
500
When the agents of erosion deposit, or lay down sediment
What is the definition of deposition?
500
1. A rainy region, with limestone close to the surface, and with significant change from ground water 2. Slope, volume of flow, and shape of the streambed
1.What is karst topography? 2.What is the factors that a river depends on to have enough power, to cause erosion, and carry sediment?
500
A mixture of sediment that glaciers deposit directly on the surface
What is till?
500
Sandbars, spits, beaches, sea archs, sea caves, headlands, wave cut cliffs, and sea stacks.
What is the landforms waves create?
500
The process by which wind removes surface materials
What is deflation?
