Surface Processes

5. General shape of a land surface.
10. Solid water.
11. Erosion and deposition of unsorted, angular sediments due to gravity.
12. Water soaking into the ground.
14. The ability of water to rise in small openings. Greater in smaller sediments (clay, silt
16. A change in the rock that forms a new compound.
17. Gaseous water.
19. The ability for soil to hold water [see previous conversation].
22. Landscapes with the lowest relief and often flat layers of sedimentary rock.

1. Spaces between rocks filled with water.
2. The breakdown of rocks into smaller particles called sediments.
3. The ability of soil or sediment to allow water to flow down through it.
4. Type of weathering where rocks are broken down without changing composition.
6. Forces that push Earth's crust to a higher elevation, like faulting, folding, tilting of bedrock, and volcanic action [see previous conversation].
7. Forces that decrease the elevation of Earth's crust, mainly erosion [see previous conversation].
8. Water falling to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail [see previous conversation].
9. Landscapes with the greatest relief, high peaks & deep valleys, and faulted/tilted bedrock.
13. Liquid water becoming water vapor.
15. The change in elevation between the highest and lowest points.
18. The amount of space between sediments.
20. Transportation of sediments.
21. Landscapes with high relief but relatively flat due to erosion and horizontal layers of sedimentary rock.
