  1. 3. an automated system for capturing, storing, retrieving, analyzing, manipulating, and displaying geographic data
  2. 5. the slow downhill movement of weathered rock material
  3. 6. the relationship between the measurements on a model, map, or diagram and the actual measurement or distance
  4. 8. The process in which material is laid down
  5. 10. Any large mass of ice that exists year round and moves over land
  6. 11. the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest parts in a given area; the variations in elevation of a land surface
  7. 13. a mass of material deposited in a triangular or fan shape at the mouth of a river or stream
  8. 14. A low ridge of sand deposited along the shore of a lake or sea.
  9. 15. a mound of wind-deposited sand that moves as a result of the action of wind
  10. 17. an area of the shoreline that is made up of deposited sediment
