|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| erosion | Process in which surface materials are worn away and transported from one place to another by agents such as gravity, water, wind and glaciers

|
||||
| deposition | dropping of settlements that occurs when an agent of erosion, such as gravity, wind, or water, loses its energy and no longer carry its load
🗑
|
||||
| mass movement | any type of erosion that occurs when a mass of materials down slope
🗑
|
||||
| slump | a type of mass movement that occurs when a mass of material moves down a curved slope
🗑
|
||||
| creep | a type of mass movement in which settlements move down slope very slowly; it is common in areas of freezing and thawing, can calls walls, tress, and fences to lean downhill
🗑

| glacier | large, movement masses of ice and snow that change large areas of the Earths surface through erosion and deposition
🗑

| outwash | material deposited y meltwater from a glacier
🗑

||||
| deflation | a type of erosion that occurs when wind blows over loose sediments, removes small particles, and leaves coarser sediments behind
🗑
|
||||
| abrasion | the type of erosion that occurs when windblown sediments strike rocks and sediments, polishing and pitting their surface
🗑
|
||||
| loess | windblown deposit of tightly packed, fine-grained sediments
🗑
|
||||
| dune | mound formed when windblown sediments pile up behind an obstacle; common land form in the desert areas
