What is the definition of WEATHERING?

• The natural process by which atmospheric and environmental agents, such as wind, rain, and temperature changes, disintegrate and decompose rocks.

• A mass of material deposited in a triangular or fan shape at the mouth of a river or stream.

• The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another.

• The material carried along by a river or a stream.

What is the definition of EROSION?

• The material carried along by a river or a stream.

• The boundary between land and a body of water.

• The natural process by which atmospheric and environmental agents, such as wind, rain, and temperature changes, disintegrate and decompose rocks.

• The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another.

What is the definition of DEPOSITION?

• The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another.

• The material carried along by a river or a stream.

• An exposed ridge of underwater sand and shell material.

• The process in which material is laid down.

What is the definition of GRADIENT?

• An exposed ridge of underwater sand and shell material.

• The measure in the change of elevation over a certain distance. The steepness of the stream or river.

• An area of the shoreline that is made up of deposited sediment.

• The amount of water a river or stream carries in a given amount of time.

What is the definition of LOAD?

• The amount of water a river or stream carries in a given amount of time.

• The grinding and wearing down of rock by another rock.

• An area of the shoreline that is made up of deposited sediment.

• The material carried along by a river or a stream.

What is the definition of DISCHARGE?

• The amount of water a river or stream carries in a given amount of time.

• A fan-shaped mass of rock material deposited by a stream when the slope of the land decreases sharply.

• Fine-grained sediments of quartz, feldspar, hornblende, mica, and clay deposited by the wind.

• An area of the shoreline that is made up of deposited sediment.

What is the definition of FLOODPLAIN?

• The boundary between land and a body of water.

• A long ridge or narrow island that lies parallel to the shore.

• Rocky landscape left behind after deflation.

• An area along a river that forms from sediments deposited when the river overflows its banks.
