What is weathering?
Is the physical and chemical processes that change objects on Earth's surface over time.
100
What is erosion?
This is the removal of weathered material from one location to another.
100
What is deposition?
The laying down or settling of eroded material.
100
What is mass wasting?
Is the downhill movement of a large mass of rocks or soil because of the pull of gravity.
100
What is a glacier?
Is a large mass of ice that formed on land and moves slowly across Earth's surface.
200
What is sediment?
The pieces of rock that come from weathering
200
What is poorly rounded rocks?
Sediment that has a wide range of sizes.
200
What is depositional environments?
When sediment is deposited in locations.
200
What is vegetation?
This reduces the force of falling rain
200
What is glacial erosion?
Glaciers erode Earth's surface as they slide over it.
300
What is shape?
The way sediment is classified by.
300
What is the rate of erosion?
This is what affects the weather, climate, topography, and type of rock.
300
What is an alluvial fan?
An apron of sediment.
300
What is a slump?
The material that moves slowly in a large mass
300
What is U-shaped valleys?
Glaciers can form this when they move pass mountains.
400
What is pollutants?
When this thing in the air reacts with rain and makes it more acidic.
400
What is weathered material?
This is often transported away from its source rock.
400
What is a landform created by deposition?
A sandbar is a example of this.
400
What is the severity of mass wasting and the tendency for it to occur?
Human activities affect this.
400
What is sand and gravel?
Outwash consists of these two well-sorted things.
500
What is a rock's surface area?
The rate of weathering depends on this when it is exposed to the environment.
500
What is the type of rock?
The rate of erosion depends on this.
500
What is eskers and moraines?
Glaciers can create long, narrow deposits, which is this.
500
What is erosion?
This tends to be more destructive when the mass wasting occurs on steep slopes.
500
What is the mound of Earth?
Moraine is from the French word morena which means this.
