The process that lays down sediment in a new location. Row 1, Col 1 What is deposition? The process that lays down sediment in a new location. Row 1, Col 1

As a river’s slope increases, the power of the river that What is increases? As a river’s slope increases, the power of the river that causes erosion does this. 1,2

What is a wave-cut cliff? The erosion of rock at the base of a steep coast forms this. 1,3

Times in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of What are ice ages? Times in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of Earth’s land surface. 1,4

What are mass movements? Slumps, landslides, creeps and mudflows are examples of this. 2,1

What is a meander? Looplike bends in a river or stream. 2,2

What is deposits sediment? Wind does this when it slows down or hits an obstacle. 2,3

The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up What is plucking? The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up a rock as it moves. 2,4

Mass movements are caused by this. What is gravity? Mass movements are caused by this. 3,1

These 3 factors affect how fast a river flows. What are slope, volume of flow, and shape of the stream bed? These 3 factors affect how fast a river flows. 3,2

Fine particles of sediment What is loess? Fine particles of sediment that have been deposited far from their source by wind. 3,3

What are thicker and larger? These two features distinguish between continental glaciers and valley glaciers. 3,4

that move sediment from one location to another. What are wind and water? Two agents of erosion that move sediment from one location to another. 4,1

A wide deposit of sediment formed as a stream leaves What is an alluvial fan? A wide deposit of sediment formed as a stream leaves a mountain range. 4,2

What is wind blowing across the water’s surface? Waves are formed through this process. 4,3

What happens when more snow falls than melts? Glaciers can only form when this occurs. 4,4

Runoff that forms a thin What is sheet erosion? Runoff that forms a thin layer of sediment over the land is this kind of erosion. 5,1

This forms when a stream another stream or river. What is a tributary? This forms when a stream or river flows into another stream or river. 5,2

Silver Strand Beach is an What is a barrier beach? Silver Strand Beach is an example of this type of landform. 5,3

Evidence that an area was once What is a U-shaped valley? Evidence that an area was once covered by a glacier. 5,4
