These are land forms created at or near the mouths of rivers. They are caused by sediment, typically silt, that is eroded into a river and carried to its mouth, where the sediment is deposited.
dunes
deltas
coastlines
sinkholes
_______________________begin to form when snow remains in the same area year-round, where enough snow accumulates to transform into ice
rivers
lakes
glaciers
mountains
A ________________ is a mound of sand formed by the wind, usually along the beach or in a desert.
coastline
glacier
mountain
dune
Formed when pieces of Earth's crust—called plates—smash against each other in a process called plate tectonics, and buckle up like the hood of a car in a head-on collision.
sinkholes
mountains
caves
deltas
When the land surface above collapses or sinks into the cavities or when surface material is carried downward into the voids; drought, along with resulting high groundwater withdrawals, can make conditions favorable for this to form
deltas
mountains
caves
sinkholes
These can form in hollows left by meteorite impacts, in the craters formed by volcanoes, when a river is dammed by a natural rock fall or man or where glaciers cause depressions in the Earth's surface
glaciers
volcanoes
lakes
Rivers
A fan-shaped area where a river meets the ocean is called a ____________. This is formed when sediment and rock is deposited at the end of the river.
dune
delta
weathering
sediment
A ______________ is a hill of sand created by the wind.
dune
delta
sediment
What most likely formed this lake?
glaciers
man-made
volcanoes
sinkhole
The Floridan ____________ is found beneath all of Florida and portions of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, and extends into the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean
aquifer
coastline
sinkhole
border
The diagram shows the edge of a continental glacier that is receding. R indicates elongated hills. The ridge of sediments from X to Y represents a landscape feature. The elongated hills labeled R are most useful in determining the
age of the glacier
direction the glacier has moved
thickness of the glacier
rate at which the glacier is melting
The _________ is the land along a sea. The boundary, where land meets water, is called the __________. Waves, tides, and currents help create _________. When waves crash onto shore, they wear away at, or erode, the land.
deltas
mountains
lakes
coastlines
What is the difference between caverns and sinkholes?
Caverns are large open spaces; SInkholes are funnel shaped.
Sinkholes are large open spaces; Caverns are funnel shaped.
Caverns are above the ground; SInkholes are underground
Sinkholes and caverns are synonyms
Which of the following statements is correct?
A landform is a natural feature of the earth's surface.
Landforms can be either natural or manmade features.
Landforms can only be found on land and not in water.
Formed by the action of water or wind, carrying abrasive particles capable of carving rock.
deltas
sinkhole
caves
coastlines
When do Sinkholes happen?
when there is an earthquake
when I water my garden too much
when the bedrock of the earth is slowly worn away by erosion
During major road construction
