Chapter 3-Erosion and Deposition

4. A ridge formed by the till deposited at the edge of a glacier.
5. A landform made of sediment that is deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake.
7. A beach formed by longshore drift that projects like a finger out into the water.
9. The process by which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over the land.
12. A wind-formed deposit made of fine particles of clay and silt.
14. The sediments deposited directly by a glacier.
15. The force that moves objects downhill.
16. A channel through which water is continually flowing downhill.
18. A part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean.
20. A column-like form that grows upward from the floor of a cavern.
22. Wave-washed sediment along a coast.
25. A region in which a layer of limestone close to the surface creates deep valleys, caverns, and sinkholes.
26. A meander cut off from a river.
28. A tiny groove in soil made by flowing water.
30. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
31. Water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers.
32. Water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground.
33. A wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range.
34. A looplike bend in the course of a river.

1. A glacier that covers much of a continent or large island.
2. A long, narrow glacier that forms when snow and ice buildup in a mountain valley.
3. Any one of several processes by which gravity moves sediment downhill.
6. A small depression that forms when a chunk of ice is left in glacial till.
8. Time in Earth’s history during which glaciers covered large parts of the surface.
10. An icicle-like structure that hangs from the ceiling of a cavern.
11. The flat, wide area of land along a river.
13. A stream or river that flows into a larger river.
17. The movement of sediment along a beach.
19. Earth materials deposited by erosion.
21. The process by which wind removes surface materials.
23. The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves weathered particles of rock and soil.
24. A deposit of wind-blown sand.
27. Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
29. A large channel in soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm.
