The build up of land by the settlement of sediment and soil in a new location

• Erosion

• Sediment

• Deposition

• Glacier

A student was observing rocks he found at a river bed. The rocks he found smooth and rounded because the rocks—

• Rolled down a side of a mountain.

• Formed from lava during an earthquake.

• Were in a river that had fast moving water.

• Were part of a glacier that melted.

Erosion is

• The breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water, and ice

• Small particles of rock being moved to new places by water, wind, and ice

• A large, slow-moving, long-lasting accumulation of snow and ice that develops on land

• Small pieces of rock broken down by weathering and then settling in an area

The breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water, and ice

• Sediment

• Glacier

• Weathering

• Erosion

A glacier is

• the breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water, and ice

• Wearing away of Earth's surface by wind, water, or ice

• A large, slow-moving, long-lasting accumulation of snow and ice that develops on land

• Small pieces of rock broken down by weathering and then settling in an area

Deposition occurs when

• Features on the surface of the Earth are formed, such as mountains, hills, dunes, oceans and rivers.

• Rock is broken down into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water, and ice.

• Sediments built up in one place as a result of the effects wind, water, and ice.

• Wind, water, and ice moving weathered materials down a mountain side.
