Tributary	100 An area, big or small, where water drains into the center is called a what? Watershed	100 What is glacier? A large body of ice that moves with gravity.	100 What is erosion? The breaking down and moving of sediment, soil, and rock.
200 When a cloud is heavy enough it will do this? Precipitate	200 Many Tributaries coming together form a what? River	200 What are the high points surrounding a watershed called? Watershed divide	200 Name the two different types of glaciers. Valley glacier and continental glacier	200 Name three landforms water erosion can cause? Deltas, canyons, caves
300 When water vapor rises to the atmosphere it begins to turn into this when it reaches colder temperatures.

400 What is water called that moves over the land during precipitation? Run Off	400 What is the landform that can be created when a river empties into a body of water? Delta	400 Name three ways a watershed gets its water collection? Precipitation, Glacier, Ground water	400 What is plucking? Glacier erosion. The picking up of large rocks as the glacier moves.	400 What would a young mountain look like. Why? Sharp, jagged. Because it has not had much time to erode.
