Match the following
A large sheet of flowing ice
Glacier
The process of moving sediment from one place to another.
Erosion
Very small pieces of rock, sand, silt carried by water.
Sediment
A feature such as a delta or sand dune
Landform
The dropping or settling of eroded materials
Deposition
The breakdown of rock on Earth's surface to into smaller pieces
Weathering
Gravity
Landforms
___________is a destructive process where Earth materials such as rocks and soil are broken down into smaller parts. Weathering can also break down roads, buildings, and other materials humans make.
Erosion
Deposition
Weathering
Landslide
______is the movement of materials from one place to another by natural methods. _________can be a destructive process, such as when a landslide moves material from the top of a mountain.
Erosion
Deposition
Weathering
______is a constructive process whereby soil and rock that are eroded from one location are deposited as sediment in another location. As the sediment from a river is deposited at the mouth of a river over time, new land is created, which is called a delta. An example is the Mississippi delta.
Erosion
Deposition
Weathering
______sheets of very old ice that are the size of states and that move along Earth’s surface, also create valleys as they slowly grind along the surface.
Mountain
Valley
Delta
Glacier
(a) is when rocks are broken down into pieces of sediment.
