Geomorphology

4. a process where wind, water, ice, or gravity moves sediment, soil, or rock from one place to another
8. a natural process where the atmosphere and environment change rocks’ shape and composition
11. rain, sleet, or snow that has a lot of concentrated acid in it
12. a chemical reaction where a material combines with oxygen to form a new material (type of chemical weathering)
13. a mass of material deposited by a stream in the shape of a fan
15. sheets of ice spreading across large areas, even continents - erode the land
16. a flow of a mass of mud, rock, or soil mixed with water
17. process where rocks are split apart by water seeping into cracks and freezing, expanding the rock slowly
19. a large mass of ice that exists in all seasons and moves over land
20. the percent of space in a rock or material
21. a pile of sand moved and deposited by the wind

1. the chemical decomposition of rocks by the natural environment
2. a process where material is put somewhere
3. a mass of rock and sediment deposited by a glacier
5. a place along a river formed by deposited sediments, put there from the river overflowing
6. a sudden movement or shifting of rock and soil down a slope
7. the mechanical breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces - chemical composition stays the same (mechanical weathering)
9. rock material carried and deposited by a glacier
10. a mass of material deposited into the mouth of a river or stream, triangular or fan shaped
14. mass of ice (glacier) that forms in mountains and flow down the sides of mountains - form rugged landscapes
18. the process in which rock is reduced in size by rubbing against other rocks
