10
Wind erosion is more common in moist climates than in dry ones. True or False?
11
False
12
Wind erosion is the most common type of erosion in dry climates. True or False?
13
False
14
The area of the dune that faces away from the wind.
15
Leeward side
16
The process of deserts spreading into non-desert areas.
17
desertification
18
Desert pavement is formed by this erosion process.
19
deflation
20
Erosion by gravity is called this.
21
Mass wasting or mass movement
22
The main reason that erosion by gravity has increased in the last hundred years.
23
Human development of the land
24
The ____ the slope, the more likely mass movement will occur.
25
steeper
26
Slides that occur when large masses of soil slip down a curved surface.
27
slump
29
Evidence of this downslope movement of soil is the bending of tree trunks.
30
creep
31
Periods of global cooling that allow glaciers to build up and advance are called this.
32
Ice ages
33
The type of glacial erosion where rocks are lifted out of the ground after a glacier freezes to them.
34
plucking
36
A glacier needs to be this thick before it starts to flow.
37
20 - 30 meters
38
Glaciers are stationary when flow is _______ melting.
39
Equal to
40
Unsorted glacial deposits.
41
till
42
Valley glacier features are mostly (erosional / depositional).
43
erosional
44
This part of the glacier moves the fastest.
45
center
46
The type of glaciers that occurred here in Central Illinois.
47
continental
48
Two of these moraines come together to form a medial moraine.
49
lateral
51
Continental glaciers have mostly (erosional / depositional) features.
52
depositional
53
The % of an iceberg that is above the water.
54
10%
55
This erosion process is used by glaciers, wind, waves, and water.
56
abrasion
57
This type of mass wasting does more damage than any other.
58
creep
59
A layer of pebbles on the desert floor that is caused be deflation.
60
Desert pavement
61
Stones that are smoothed down due to excessive abrasion.
62
ventifacts
63
The shape of a valley glacier’s trough.
64
U
65
Type of moraine that forms underneath the glacier.
66
ground
67
The very fine silt that is created by glaciers and wind.
68
loess
70
These types of mass movement move as one cohesive mass.
71
slides
72
These types of mass movement move like a liquid (all mixed up).
73
flows
74
Topic: Glacier movement
75
The relationship between flow and melting that causes end moraines to form.
76
Flow = melting
