How do erosion and deposition work together to create a moraine?

• Waves cause erosion along coastlines and deposit sand away from the shore.

• Erosion occurs as surface water carries sediment and the sediment is deposited near oceans and lakes.

• Glaciers cause erosion as they melt, carrying sediment that gets deposited in a thick layer.

• Winds cause erosion by blowing around sand that gets deposited in large piles.

How do erosion and deposition work together to form sand dunes?

• Waves cause erosion along coastlines and deposit sand away from the shore.

• Surface water in rivers causes erosion, carrying sediment that gets deposited near an ocean.

• Glaciers cause erosion through the movement of large chunks of ice, which are deposited and form depressions.

• Erosion occurs through deflation, and sand that was picked up is deposited against an obstruction.

A characteristic of deposition is ______?

• Several factors affect how sediment settles.

• Sediment is removed from a new surface location.

• Moving water affects where sediment travels.

• Rocks are broken into smaller particles.

__________ help reduce the amount of runoff that occurs in an area?

• hard soil

• steep slopes

• paved surfaces

• increased vegetation

Lists the three processes that are affected by freeze and thaw cycles.

• creep, landslide, and deposition

• deposition, creep, and weathering

• landslide, slump, and deposition

• slump, weathering, and creep

A rocky hill cracks after water settles and freezes. Several trees on the hill tilt due to the very slow downhill movement of rock and soil.

The movement occurs over a long distance.

Which type of mass movement does this describe?

• creep

• landslide

• mudflow

• slump
