6. Sediment that was deposited by a glacier
8. When wind erosion piles up sand (deposition)
10. living things that cause chemical weathering by releasing a weak acid - Chemical Weathering
11. Soil particles move slowly downhill
13. a chemical change in which a substance combines with oxygen, as when iron oxidizes, forming rust
14. where deposition takes place
15. These protect the Georgia coast by absorbing the energy of waves and storms
17. where erosion takes place
18. a wide, downhill deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain

1. Water weathers rock by dissolving it
3. A deposit of fine, wind-blown glacial sediment
4. The tumbling of dry soil and rocks downhill
7. rain, sleet, or snow that contains a high concentration of acids thermal
9. Rain mixes with the soil to form mud which moves downhill
12. When CO2 dissolves in rain water and creates carbonic acid and weathers limestone to form caves and sink holes
