1. Security Briefing and Background Check

2. Investigative Terms to Know
the process that BREAKS down rock
WEATHERING

3. the process by which natural forces move or CARRY sediment from one place to another
GROUND
EROSION

4. the process by which agents of erosion deposit, or DROP sediment
DEPOSITION

5. Agent Gravity
$ 1 million
Mass Movement- any one of several processes where gravity moves sediment downhill

6. Crime: Landslide
Landslide- the most destructive form of mass movement EROSION when rock and soil slide quickly down a steep slope

7. Crime: Mudflow
Mudflow- the rapid downhill movement (EROSION) of a mixture of rock, soil, and water, usually after heavy rains

8. Crime: Slump
Slump- a large mass of rock and soil that suddenly slips (ERODES) down a slope in one big piece, usually due to the soil beneath it becoming soaked and soft

9. Crime: Creep
Creep- a very slow downhill movement (EROSION) of rock and soil, often due to freezing and thawing of water in rock below the soil

10. Glaciers- any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land
Agent Glaciers
$ 1 million
Glaciers- any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land

11. Types of Glaciers
Continental Glaciers
Valley Glaciers

12. Crime: Plucking
plucking- process of glacial EROSION where broken rock under the glacier freezes to the bottom of the glacier and is CARRIED to a new location

13. Crime: Tarn Lake
tarn lake - a lake created when a glacier plucks or rips large amounts of rock from the Earth, leaving a hole for a lake

14. Crime: Abrasion
abrasion- process of glacial EROSION where the rocks frozen to the bottom of glaciers scrape over the land, leaving scratches behind

15. Crime: Moraine Till- the mixture of sediments that glaciers DEPOSIT
Moraine- till DEPOSITED at the edge of a glacier in a ridge

16. IMPRINT FILLS WITH WATER
Crime: Kettle
ICE A
ICE
SINKS B
ICE MELTS C
IMPRINT FILLS WITH WATER D
Kettle- a small depression or imprint left in the land after a piece of a glacier breaks off and is DEPOSITED and left behind (often these imprints fill with water and become lakes)

17. Crime: Esker
Esker- the riverbeds left behind from meltwater rivers that ran through the bottoms of glaciers

18. 2 miles

19. Crime: Erratics
Erratics- LARGE pieces of sediment that a glacier plucks from the ground, carries, and deposits in new locations
