| erosion | Process by which wind and water move weathered rock and soil from one place to another |
| deposition | Process where sediment is laid down in a new location |
| mass movement | landslides, mudflows, slump, creep |
| gravity | causes mass movement |
| tributary | a stream or river that runs into another stream or river |
| delta | built up by deposition |
| gravel | The first type of sediment deposited when a river slows down |
| continental v. valley glaciers | continental glaciers are much larger and thicker |
| abrasion | Deep gouges and scratches on bedrock caused by a glacier |
| terminal moraine | a ridge of till located at the farthest point reached by a glacier |
| energy that produces ocean waves | comes from wind blowing across the water's surface |
| spit | where a coastline turns and may sand may be deposited in a FINGERLIKE LANDFORM |
| deflation | process by which wind removes surface materials |
| loess | PARTICLES of CLAY and SILT eroded and deposited by the wind |
| creep | VERY SLOW movement of sediment down a slope |
| The STRONGER the wind.. | The LARGER the particles it erodes |
| beach | Forms by waves depositing sediment--deposition |
| barrier beach | STORM WAVES pile sand parallel to shore--deposition |
| a divide | on either side of a drainage basin-water flows inot basin on the indside and away on the outside |
| Delta | forms when a river slows down as it enters a lake or ocean and deposits its sediment which builds up |
| meander | a looplike bend in the way a river flows |
| oxbow lake | a meander that has been cut off from the river |
| waterfall | forms when a river flows over a steep drop |
