| erosion | process where products of weathering are moved from one place to another |
| deposition | process by which sediments are laid down in a new location |
| sand dune | mound of sand depositied by the wind |
| delta | formed by sediments deposited at the mouth of a large river that flows into the ocean |
| flood plain | flat area that is found on both sides of a river made when sediments are deposited after flooding |
| barrier island | long, thin islands along the coastline |
| spit | a ridge of sand that extends away from shore |
| longshore drift | movement of water parallel to a shoreline |
| sediments | small bits of rock and soil after weathering has broken them down |
| mudslide | one of the types of deposition caused by gravity |
| ice wedging | type of mechanical weathering when water freezes and cracks rocks apart |
| abrasion | one rock bumps against another rock in this form of mechanical weathering |
| organisms | like trees can grow roots that wedge into cracks of rocks and break them open |
| acid rain | a type of chemical weathering |
| oxidation | chemical weathering when oxygen reacts with another element |
| runoff | water that flows over the land after a rain |
