Weathering, Erosion, and Soils

4. a large mass of ice consisting mostly of recrystallized snow that moves under the influence of gravity
6. a valuable top soil containing equal parts sand and slit with about half as much clay
11. a layer of soil resulting from the weathering of bedrock
12. a process whereby thin sheets or layers of rock flake off larger rocks often shaping them into large outcrops and boulders
13. the raising of rocks and boulders caused by the expansion of water freezing below the grounds surface
15. a winding ridge of sorted sediments deposited by a meltwater stream flowing beneath a glacier
16. a hill or ridge of windblown sand

1. deposits of sediments left by a glacier
2. the downhill movement of large quantities of rocks and soil due to gravity
3. long streamlined hills composed of unsorted glacial till
5. a layer of debris carried away from the terminus of a glacier and sorted and deposited by meltwater
7. the rapid movement of a large mass of any type of earth materials down a deep slope
8. a slender mountain peak eroded by glaciers from several sides
9. a steep hollow excavation made by glacial erosion in a mountain
10. a bowl-shaped depression caused by strong winds carrying away all the loose materials from an area
13. a glaciated valley that ocean water has entered
14. the slow movement of land surface that may cause fence post to lean
