| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ____________- a large mass of ice that moves over the land that forms when snow builds up | glacier |
| there are two types of glaciers- _____________ and valley glaciers | continental |
| a continental glacier covers _______ areas of land ex: ice age | large |
| a valley glacier stays in the ________ | valleys |
| a valley glacier can be very long and __________ | narrow |
| a valley glacier is pulled down by ________ | gravity |
| two types of glacier erosion are ____________ and ________ | plucking |
| ____________- glaciers pick up rock as they move | plucking |
| ________- glaciers carry rocks, sediment and other rocks as they move. | abrasion |
| three types of glacier deposition are: ______, ___________, and ___________, | till, moraine, kettle |
| ____- a mixture of sediment deposited on the surface | till |
| ______________- ridge of sediment at the farthest point of a glacier. | moraine |
| _________- small depression into the ground formed by retreating (when they fill with water from lakes) | kettle |
| as wind blows across the surface; it transfers ________ to the water | energy |
| ________ moves up and down not forward, until it hits the shore | water |
| waves ____ the coast | shape |
| 4 types of wave erosion: _________, ______________, __________, ________. | impact, abrasion, headland, landforms |
| ____________- waves hit the shore | impact |
| ________- waves pick up sediment | abrasion |
| ____________- rock or manmade, causes waves to change direction | headland |
| _____________- sea caves, wave cut cliff, sea arch, sea stack | landforms |
| 4 types of wave deposition: ________________, _____________, ___________, ___________/___________. | longshore drift, beach, spit, sandbars/ barrier beaches |
| _______________ _________- sand carried down beach at an angle | longshore drift |
| ___________- waves deposit sediment on land | beach |
| ________- fingers of sand out in water, due to longshore current | spit |
| ________/_______ ____________- sand built up parallel to shore | sandbars/ barrier beaches |
| ______ erosion happens when wind particles of sediment and moves it across the surface of the earth | wind |
| plants | |
| an example of wind erosion is _________ | deflation |
| ___________- wind blows across the land | deflation |
| ______________- sediment is blasted against rocks and can polish them and make them smooth. | abrasion |
| two types of wind deposition are _______ _________ and _____ _______ | sand dunes, loess deposits |
| sand dunes | |
| _______ __________- like sand dunes, but it is when fine particles like clay or silt are deposited in layers | loess deposits |
| what part of the water is affected by a wave in deep water? | only the water near the surface is affected |
| list two ways that waves erode the land. | abrasion and impact |
| part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean because it is made of harder rock is called a ______________ | headland |
| list three landforms created by wave erosion. | wave cut cliff, sea stack, sea arch |
| the process in which beach sediment is moved down the beach with the current is called _________ ______ | longshore drift |
| how does a spit form? | where a headland or other obstacle interrupts longshore drift and deposition occurs. |
| why is wind effective in causing erosion in deserts? | there are very few plants to hold the soil in place. |
| when does wind- carried sediment fall to the ground? | when the wind slows down or when an obstacle traps the wind blown sediment |
| list two types of deposits formed by wind erosion and deposition. | sand dune and loess deposit |
| ___________-long mound of till that is smoothed in the direction of the glacier's flow. | drumlin |
| _________-bowl-shaped hollow eroded by a glacier | cirque |
| ____-sharp ridge separating two cirques | arete |
| fiord |
