| Deposition | Dropping of sediments. |
| Organic | Once was living. |
| Inorganic | Was never living. |
| Precipitation | Settling of dissolved sea shell material in sea water. |
| Slows down | What a stream does to allow deposition to occur. |
| Gradient | Steepness of a slope. |
| Discharge | Volume of water in a stream. |
| Meander | Bend in a stream. |
| Inside | Part of a meander where deposition occurs. |
| Sorting | Separating materials by their size, shape, or density. |
| Water | Deposits sediments in SORTED layers. |
| Round | Shape of particles that will settle the fastest in water. |
| Heaviest | Weight of partciles that settle the fastest in water. |
| Mass movement | Causes angular, unsorted rocks to be piled at the bottom of a cliff. |
| Potential energy | Stored energy of position (HIGHEST point). |
| Kinetic energy | Energy of motion (FASTEST point). |
| Dynamic equilibrium | A balance between erosion and deposition. |
| Interface | Boundary between two different things. |
| Delta | Deposition at the mouth of a stream. |
| Mouth | End of a stream where it enters a lake or ocean. |
| Glaciers | Deposit material that is UNSORTED. |
| Drumlins | Tear-drop shaped hills, with steep side face toward direction of ice advance. |
| Kettle lakes | Form from blocks of slower melting ice (Loon Lake). |
| Jetties | Rock barriers in ocean that catch sand on the side the currents hit. |
| Barrier islands | Sand deposits parallel to the shore (Long Island). |
