Glacial Parallel Scratches

• parallel cuts in bedrock formed by abrasion of rocks and sediments frozen to the bottom of a glacier.

• a large mass of naturally formed ice on land that moves downhill do to gravity.

• any variety of erosion and deposition done directly by gravity

• a curve or bend in a stream or river

Physical Weathering

• the mechanical or physical breakdown of rock and other Earth materials at or near Earth's surface into small pieces without changing chemical composition

• a pile or low ridge of sand, often just above or just below water level, deposited by waves and currents

• an erosional process by which blowing sand impacts and abrades rock surfaces resulting in shaped land features

• particles or materials formed by weathering and erosion of rocks or organic materials; materials transported by erosional systems
