| landform | a natural feature on Earth's surface such as mts. |
| weathering | process in which rocks in Earth's crust are slowly broken down into smaller pieces |
| erosion | the movement of weathered pieces of rock by water, ice, and wind |
| deposition | the laying down of pieces of Earth's surface |
| landslide | a rapid downhill movement of a large amount of rock and soil |
| volcano | a cone shaped landform at a weak spot in Earth's crust where magma reaches the surface |
| fault | a break or crack in rock where Earth's crust can move |
| earthquake | a shaking of Earth's crust caused by sudden movement at a fault |
| epicenter | the point on Earth's surface that is directly above the focus of an earthquake |
| peninsula | a landform always found on the coast |
| water | can cause physical weathering |
| constantly changing | The surface of the Earth is ___ |
| What causes the constant changing surface of Earth? | weathering |
| acid rain | rain mixes with carbon dioxide to form ___ |
| rapid kinds of erosion | landslide and avalanche |
| cause of a volcano | magma comes through the crust at a weakspot |
| lava | magma after it leaves the volcano and flows |
| rain water moving soil down a mountain | an example of erosion |
| building up of the Earth's surface (ie. New Orleans) | deposition |
| glacier | mixture of rock, soil, and ice, that slide across Earth's surface & erodes landforms |
| covering Earth's surface with rock and ash | how a volcano eruption changes Earth's surface |
| physical weathering | large rocks change into smaller pieces that are made of the same kind of rock |
| chemical weathering | causes rock to break and changes the material that makes up the rock |
| an example of chemical weathering | acid rain |
| Earth's gravity | pulls matter from higher places to lower places |
| ocean waves | change the shape of the shoreline |
