ADD THIS INFORMATION TO YOUR STUDY GUIDE!!

• Glaciers movement depends on balance between accumulation and wastage

• Glacier deposit=till

• Ephemeral streams=desert streams that run only after it rains

• Chemical weathering can cause the landscape in some deserts to turn a rust color

• Loses=windblown silt that blankets a landscape

• In a sand dune, the sheltered side is steeper than the windward side
