What are two types of features that result from wind deposition?

Sand dunes and frosted and pitted sediments

As the stream erodes the land, what features are likely to form in steep areas?

V-shaped valleys and waterfalls

Compare and contrast deltas and alluvial fans.

Deltas and alluvial fans both form when a river slows down or ends, depositing sediment. However, deltas form in water and alluvial fans form on land.

Often contain rapids and waterfalls, the water in a mountain stream moves quickly because it is flowing down.

As water flows down a hillside through fillies, the gullies flow together to form streams.

What force provides the energy for the erosion caused by running water?

Gravity provides the energy for erosion caused by the downward flow of rivers and streams to the ocean.

if the water drips down o the floor, a pillar of minerals form.

Gravity causes mass movement in the form of four agents of erosion. What are those agents?

landslides, mudflows, slump, creep

landslides, earthquakes, mudflows, and slumps

volcanic eruptions, landslides, creep, slump

hurricanes, landslides, mudflows, creep

Water in a river is flowing the fastest in what part of a curve?

water flows at a constant rate in all parts of the river

What makes a river meander?

Deposition and erosion of sediment

weathering caused by increased water flow

the sizes of sediments are reduced and the smaller sediment sizes cause the river to meander

Rivers carry their sediment until reaching the ocean. The faster moving water of the river meets the ocean water and slows down. The slowing down of the river water creates what land feature?

A delta forms from the deposition of sediment from the river

wind forms a delta because there are no trees to stop the wind and wave action is greatest at the mouth of a river

the overpopulation of coral reef in the shallow waters has caused a tremendous stockpile of sediment at the mouth of rivers as they empty into the ocean

What is the main cause of beach erosion?

waves coming onto the beach erode away the sand

global warming is causing an increase in ocean levels causing beaches to completely erode away
