Chapter 3 Review

7. Any one of several processes that moves sediment downhill - landslide, mudflow etc.
8. The mixture of sediments that a glacier deposits directly on the surface.
9. Sediment deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake.
11. When wind meets an obstacle, a deposit of windblown sand.
12. The process by which wind surface materials.
13. The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another.
15. Fine, wind-deposited sediment typically made of clay and silt contributes to fertile farmlands.
18. Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
19. A stream or river that flows into a larger river.
23. A time in the past when continental glaciers covered a large portion of Earth's surface.
24. The flat, wide area of land along a river - floods when river overflows.

1. Occurs in a continuous cycle with erosion, depositing displaced material or sediment in a new location.
2. A wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range.
3. Material consisting of pieces of rock, soil, sand or remains of plants & animals.
4. A large temporary groove or channel that in soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm.
5. A looplike bend in the course of a river.
6. The process in which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over land.
7. Till deposited at the edges of a glacier forms a ridge.
10. The part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean typically made of harder rock that erodes more slowly.
14. A meander that gets cut off from the river often from when the river flooded.
16. A channel along which water is continually flowing down a slope.
17. Forms as result of a longshore drift - a beach projects like a finger out into the water.
18. The force pulling everything down on the planet.
20. As runoff travels, it forms temporary tiny grooves in the soil.
21. An area of wave-washed sediment (typically sand) along a coast.
22. Moving water flowing over the land that carries particles with it.
