What process is where down and build up earth surface |
Weathering erosion and deposition |
|
|
The process that breaks down rock |
Weathering |
|
|
Process wearing down and carrying away rocks |
Erosion |
|
|
Occurs where the agents of erosion deposit or lay down sediment |
Deposition |
|
|
Refers to any one of the several processes that move sediment downhill |
Mass movement |
|
|
What causes mass movement |
Gravity |
|
|
What are four types of mass movement |
Landside, mudflows, slumps, creep |
|
|
The movement of rock particles buy ice wind water or gravity |
Erosion |
|
|
The rate of chemical weathering is ———— in hot wet climates than in cold dry climates |
Faster |
|
|
Some plants produce acids that result in what |
Weathering |
|
|
Process by which natural forces move weather rock and soil from one place to another |
Erosion |
|
|
A river flowing across a wide Floodplain begins to form loop like Bends called what |
Meanders |
|
|
Deltas are built up by |
Deposition of sediments |
|
|
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and then her carried away when the glacier moves is called what |
Plucking |
|
|
A wide sloping deposit of sediment formed when a stream leaves a mountain range is called a what |
Alluvial fan |
|
|
What type of Valley gives us evidence that an area was once covered by glacier |
A U-shaped Valley |
|
|
The processes by which waves erode the land are what |
Impact and abrasion |
|
|
A mixture of sediments deposited directly by a glacier |
Till |
|
|
Hey Valley glacier forms in between a |
Mountain |
|
|
A ———— Glacier spreads out over a large island or continent |
Continental |
|
|
The process that lays down sediment in a new location |
Deposition |
|
|
A very slow movement of sediment down a slope |
Creep |
|
What is landform A and how is it formed |
Sea stack formed from erosion |
|
Front (Term) |
Wave cut cliff formed from erosion |
|
Front (Term) |
A beach formed from deposition |
|
Front (Term) |
It is a delta formed when a river deposits sediment when it hits the ocean |
|
|
How do waves form |
Waves form as the wind blows across the surface of water. As the wind makes contact with the water some of its energy transfers to the water |
|
|
How do you waves erode land |
Waves erode the land by impact The energy and waves can break apart rocks |
|
|
How do waves Erode the land by abrasion |
A wave approach is shallow water it picks up sediment and the sediment is carried forward by the wave When the wave hits land the sediment ways away rock like sandpaper wearing away wood |
|
|
A sea stack forms when |
Sea arch collapses |
