| Question | Answer |
| Sediment | Solid pieces of rock minerals or remains of plants or animals that range in size and can be transported by erosion. |
| Deposition | process that occurs when sediment being carried by an erosional agent is over come by gravity and settles |
| Meander | the bend or curve in a river as water flows along the path of least resistance. |
| Runofff | Rain that is not absorbed by the ground instead flows downhill to lowlying areas and into streams and rivers |
| Groundwater | water below earths surface that fills empty spaces in rock |
| Bedrock | the solid layer of rock in a soil profile that lies beneath loose surface material. |
| Erosion | The process that moves transports and deposits loosended rock particles. |
| Explain how erosion is different from weathering | Weatherine creates sediment erosion carries it away. |
| Describe how each of the agents of erosion work to move... | |
| Surface Water | water can loosen and carry sediment away. streams, rain, rivers |
| Groundwater | can become an acidic solution that dissolves and carries away underground limestone. Creates underground caves |
| Glaciers | erodes the land by picking up sediment. Creates Fjordes |
| Waves | Weathers rocks over time carries sediment away. |
| Wind | Erodes land, carries away sand- creates sand dunes. |
| Relate how the agents of erosion also act as agents of weathering | they break down sediment and carry it away |
| Karst Topography | an area of land where the subsurface bedrock often made of limestone or marble partially dissolves by acidic water |
| Glaciers | A large mass of flowing ice |
| Fjord | a u shaped valley eroded by a lacier and filled with sea water |
| Deflation | the gradual removal of loose surface material by wind resulting in shallow depressions |
| Dune | a hill or mound created by wind deposition of sand. |
