| Erosion | The process by which weathered rock and soil particles are moved from one place to another |
| Deposition | The process by which sediments are laid down to a new location |
| Mass Wasting | The downhill movement of sediments caused by gravity |
| Sand Dune | A mound of sand deposited by the wind |
| Loess | This is formed by many layers of sand and silt, which are deposited in the same area |
| Load | The soil particles and rock materials that are carried by a stream |
| Drainage System | The network of rills, gullies, and streams that form a river |
| Tributaries | Larger branches of a river. They flow into a main river |
| Drainage Basin | The area that is drained by a main river and it's channels |
| Immature River | Young River, in the early stage of development |
| Mature River | A river that has been developing for many thousands of years |
| Oxbow Lake | The meanders of a river that has formed a large U-shaped bend. Deposited Sediments dam up the ends of the bend, seperating it from the river |
| Meander | curved, looped, and winding sections of a river |
| Alluvial Fan | When the sediments carried by a river are deposited and build up, caused by speed decreasing (leaving the mountains and running on flat land) |
| Delta | Large amounts of deposits deposited at the mouth of a river |
| Flood Plains | Flat areas on both sides of a river or stream |
| Glacier | A large mass of moving ice and snow |
| Till | Rocks and debris deposited directly by a glacier |
| Moraines | a ridge that is formed by a till, when the glacier melts and retreats |
| Drumlin | an oval shaped mound of till |
| meltwater | valley glaciers stop sdvancing. melting ice forms streams |
| Outwash Plains | fan shaped plains that form in front of terminal moraines |
| Iceberg | pieces of ice that break off of a glacier |
| Kettle Lakes | When the ice from a remaining piece of the glacier melts, leaving a depression in the land. the depression fills with water |
| sea cliffs | erosion by waves that causes a steep cliff of rock |
| terrace | flat platform at the base of a sea cliff |
| sea stacks | columns of rock that remain standing after the waves have eroded a sea cliff |
| Sea cave | a hollowed out portion of a sea cliff |
| longshore cureent | movement of water parallel to a shoreline |
| sand bar | a long, underwater ridge of sand |
| spit | a sand bar that is connected to a curving shoreline |
