Question | Answer |
---|---|
1.The process where wind picks up sediment and moves it? | deflection. |
2.Types of glaciers? | Valley Glacier and Continental glacier. |
3.What is a valley glacier? | Glacier that is formed in a valley or on a mountain. |
4.What is a Continental glacier? | Glacier that forms over a big peace of land. |
5.How are waves form? | Waves form from wind that blows across the ocean surface. |
6.What are some land forms caused by water deposition? | Deposition creates land forms such as alluvial fans and deltas. |
7.What do rivers form? | Meanders, oxbow lakes. |
8. What is mass movement? | Any one of several processes by which gravity moves sediment downhill. |
9. What causes mass movement? | Gravity. |
10.What are the 4 forms of mass movement? | Landslides, mudslides, slump, and creep. |
11. How are glaciers form? | Glaciers form where there is more snow fall than snow melt. |
12. What are the forms of wave erosion? | Sea caves, sea arches, sea stacks, and wave cut cliffs. |
13. How do the glaciers move? | The snow becomes compacted into ice, when the ice becomes thick enough the glacier starts to move down the hill because of gravity. |
14. What type of land forms do wave erosion create. | Sea caves, sea arches, sea stacks, and wave cut cliffs. |
15. How are beaches form? | As a wave reaches shore, it slows down and deposits sediment, forming a beach. |
16. What is delta? | A stream that flows into a ocean or sea. |
17.What is ground water erosion? | Chemical weathering, which results in caves or caverns. |
18.What is ground water deposition? | Water drips down from a caves roof, as the water evaporates, a deposit of calcite forms. |
19.What are the 4 forms of water erosion? | Valleys, waterfalls, flood plains, meanders, and oxbow lakes. |
20. What is a land slide? | The most destructive type of mass movement, which happens when rock and soil quickly slide down a steep slope. |
21. What is a mud slide? | Rapid downhill movement of a mixture of water, rock, and soil. |
22. What is a slump? | A mass of rock and soil suddenly slips down a slope. |
23. What is a creep? | The very slow downhill movement of rock and soil. |
24. What is a waterfall? | A waterfall is water that falls of a rock. |
25. What is a sea cave? | Type of cave formed primarily by the wave action of the sea. |
26. What is a sea arch? | A natural arch or natural bridge is a natural rock formation where a rock arch forms, with an opening underneath rock |
27. What is a sea stack? | a pillar like mass of rock detached by wave action from a cliff-lined shore and surrounded by water. |
28. What is a wave cut cliff? | The water has eroded the cliff away so it has a weathered look. |
29. What is a long shore current? | It is the current that goes to side on the shore. |
30. What is a stalagmite? | A cone shaped deposit that sticks up from the cave floor. |
