A stream or river that runs into another stream or river
Tributary
A river flowing across a wide flood plain begins to form looplike bends called
meanders
Deltas are built up by this process
Deposition
The process that surface materials are moved by wind (hint: not erosion)
Deflation
The force that gives energy to produce ocean waves
wind
A cone shaped deposit of calcite that builds up on the floor of a cave
Stalagmite
A part of a meander that has been cut off due to deposition
Oxbow lake
DAILY DOUBLE!!!
List the 2 most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering will occur.
Climate & type of rock
Does a v shaped valley form because of erosion or deposition?
erosion
Describe where and how a waterfall forms
A small depression that forms when a chunk of ice has melted and is left in glacial till
Kettle lake
A kind of glacier that forms when ice and snow build up in a mountain valley
Valley glacier
A glacier that covers large areas of land
Continental glacier
The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves
Plucking
A sharpened rock peak formed from a glacier descending from the top of a mountain
Horn
Mass movements are caused by this force
gravity
DAILY DOUBLE!!!!
The 4 types of mass movements
Landslide, mudslide, slump, creep
What 2 things create a mudslide?
Gravity and water
When glacial plucking picks up a rock and it scrapes against the surface rock
abrasion
Evidence that an area was once covered by a glacier (type of valley)
U shaped valley
Your homework before the test
Study
What erosion and deposition have in common
Both break things down
How erosion and deposition are different.
Weathering – breaks things down Erosion – transports them somewhere new
