| ____________ is the process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves pieces of rock and soil. | Erosion |
| When rock__________________, or broken into smaller and smaller pieces and often carried away by water, wind, or ice. | Weathered |
| __________, _____________, and _________________carry away weathered rock or soil to another place. | Rivers, Streams, and Runoff |
| _______________________ moving streams and rivers carry big and small rocks downstream. | Fast |
| ______________________ moving water carries smaller rocks and soil downstream. | Slow |
| Moving water can also cause__________________ carrying the soil away to a different location | Soil Erosion |

| _______________ are large valleys created by a river or stream | Canyons |
| Strong________________________ can move sand, small rocks, and soil from one place to another. | Wind |
| ______________ both weather and erode. Ice moving over rock breaks them down into smaller pieces (weather) and carries them away (erosion). | Glaciers |
| Eroded soil and rocks are____________________ when water slows down or stops, when wind dies down or stops, when wind dies down or stops blowing, and when glaciers melt. | Deposited |
| Where a river meets an ocean or lake is called the____________ of the river. | Mouth |

| Glaciers pick up rocks and dirt that travel along with the glacier until it eventually melts and is left behind as_______________ | Till |
| ________________ is the wearing down of______________ into smaller and smaller pieces. | Weathering, Rock |
| Some causes of weathering are ______________ in the cracks in rock______________ and_____________________ | Water, Freezing, Expanding |
| Plant_________________ growing into rocks (also cause weathering) | Roots |
| _______________ running over rocks, causing the rocks to hit one another and _________________ into smaller pieces (also causes weathering) | Water, Break |
| Wind carrying___________________ that wears away rock (also causes weathering) | Sand |
| ____________________ dissolved in water forming an acid that eats holes in the rock (also causes weathering) | Carbon dioxide |
