When sediment stops moving and collects in one place, it is called a:

• deposit

• destination

• resting place

• pile

• dune

In order for erosion to happen because of gravity you need:

• flat land

• high spots and low spots

• lots of rocks

• mud

• water

what sizes of sediment are transported by wind?

• sand, silt, and clay

• sand, pebbles, cobbles

• pebbles, cobbles, clay

• sand, silt, cobbles

Deflation is:

• when sediment dissolves

• when loose material is eroded by the wind

• when sediment gets smaller

• when sediment rubs together
