Earth Science Assignment

2. a landform that results when increased pressure is put on rock layers, causing them to fold upward
3. the feature that forms when sediment is carried from a stream or river into another body of water
6. processes such as landslides or stream erosion that break down or wash away the surface of geological features
10. a slow, broad, upward movement of the Earth's surface
11. the feature that forms where a stream or river ends and deposits sediments on land
12. a plate boundary where two plates collide
15. the area extending from a stream to its valley walls, where sedimet is deposited when the stream overflows
16. a landform that results when increased pressure is put on rock layers, causing them to fold downward

1. processes that help to build, shape, or initiate geological features such as mountains and volcanoes
4. the process that occurs when two plates converge, causing the crust to fold over onto itself
5. particles of sand, stone, or dirt that are removed from the Earth's surface and deposited elsewhere
7. circular movement of molten magma that causes tectonic plates to shift
8. a process that displaces rock layers when surfaces on either side of a crack in the Earth's surface shift
9. pulled under the other tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary
13. a destructive natural process through which rock and soil are loosened and removed from the Earth's surface
14. the slope of a river or stream
17. any change to the Earth's crust that results from two tectonic plates converging
