One could liken the forming of a delta to this process
What is deposition
100
these are deposited by meltwater flowing beneath a glacier
What are eskers
100
deposits of sediment left behind by glaciers
What is glacial drift
100
a large mass of ice that moves downhill because of gravity
What is a glacier
100
Mass wasting involves which natural force?
What is gravity
200
the slow movement of the land's surface that causes fence posts to lean
What is creep
200
Loess deposits are formed by this natural source
What is wind
200
a valley hollowed out by a glacier that fills up with sea water
What is a fjord
200
When water chemically combines with carbon dioxide, _________ is formed
What is carbonic acid
200
The majority of the sediment load in a stream is this type of sediment
What is suspended
300
What is formed when feldspar meets carbonic acid?
What is kaolin (clay)
300
what type of climate is most conducive to chemical weathering?
What is moist
300
topsoil that has equal parts sand and silt and 1/2 as much clay
What is loam
300
this type of soil MUST contain organic material
What is fertile
300
When water seeps into the cracks of a rock, freezes, expands, and cracks it, this has occurred
What is frost wedging
400
long, streamlined hills of unsorted glacial till
What are drumlins
400
when rocks and boulders are raised by the expansion of freezing water underground
What is frost heaving
400
This type of glacier is formed when two or more glacier meet up in a plain to a single ice mass
What is a piedmont glacier
400
a group of weathered rock at the base of a cliff
What is talus
400
a slender mountain peak eroded by glaciers on several sides
What is a horn
500
a steep, hollow excavation made by glacial erosion in a mountain
What is a cirque
500
a layer of soil that comes from bedrock weathering
What is a horizon
500
a layer of glacial debris carried away from the terminus of a glacier, sorted, and deposited by meltwater
What is an outwash plain
500
the depression in the ground moraine that remains when a glacier melts
What is a kettle
500
a depression in the earth's surface shaped like a bowl caused by strong winds picking up loose debris and carrying it away
What is a blowout
