2. type of weathering where the land surface is not uniformly changed
5. process by which wind, water, gravity and ice deposit weathered and relocated sediment
7. example of deposition found where rivers empty into the ocean
8. idea that the Earth's surface is made up of large sections that move
11. when forces on Earth break apart and or wear away rocks
15. boundary where tectonic plates move together
16. type of weathering where rocks are broken down by physical means
17. sudden release of energy under Earth's surface that makes ground shake or crack
18. relating to the whole world
19. average weather conditions

1. boundary where tectonic plates move apart
3. imperfections in the ice including pollen, dust,air bubbles
4. Earth’s material that is broken down by processes of weathering
6. huge pieces of Earth's surface that slowly move over the asthenosphere
9. agent of weathering that continually pulls rocks downhill
10. description of land surface area with reference to variations in elevation
12. large masses of ice that erode the Earth's surface
13. river that carved out the Grand Canyon
14. limestone caves are formed from this type of weathering
20. movement of sediments from one place to another by wind or water
