| striations | scratches in rock created by the abrasive action of glaciers |
| glacial till | unsorted sediment deposited by glaciers |
| erosion | movement or transport of sediment by natural agents like moving water, wind & ice |
| abrasion | wearing down of rock particles |
| barrier island | formed by waves and currents located parallel to a straight shoreline |
| deposition | removal of sediment from erosional system |
| sand bar | formed by ocean current depositing sand near the shore |
| beaches | the area of the shoreline located between the high tide and low tide levels |
| physical weathering | breakdown of rock particles into smaller pieces with no chemical change |
| chemical weathering | rocks breakdown and change into new substances due to reactions with chemicals |
| deposition | process by which transported sediment is dropped in a new place |
| transported soil | soil which has been moved by an agent of erosion |
| residual soil | soil formed from bedrock which has not been moved by an agent of erosion |
| sorted sediment | sediment separated by size, shape or density |
| unsorted sediment | sediment deposits that are mixed |
| delta | triangular shaped deposit of sorted sediment at the mouth of a river |
| flood plain | high, wide flat area that borders a stream or river; is covered with water during a flood |
| longshore current | moves sediment parallel to shore by breaking waves |
