Chapter 3 ReviewTest Questions Included!

Erosion and Deposition• What is the major

agent of erosion that shapes Earth?

• What are the four types of mass movement and how are they alike? • How are they

different?

• Moving Water!!!

• Landslide, Mudflow, Creep, and Slump• They are all caused

primarily by gravity.• They differ in water

content and in how they move.

Erosion and Deposition• Very slow movement

of rock and soil is called__________.• Sudden slippage of

large chunks of land in a large mass is called ___________.• Mass movement of

runny, liquid mud is called ___________.

• Creep

• Slump

• Mudflow

Erosion and Deposition• When sediment is

laid down in a new location it is called ______________.• What is the large

deposit of sediment left behind where a stream leaves a mountain range called?

Deposition

Alluvial Fan

Erosion and Deposition• The process by which

natural forces move weathered materials from one place to another is called ____________.• The process by which

wind removes surface materials is called ___________.

• Erosion

• Deflation

Erosion and Deposition• Sediment deposited

where a river flows into a lake or ocean is called a __________.• Heavy rains can

cause a river to flow over its banks and create a ________ _________.

• Delta

• Flood Plain

Erosion and Deposition• Water that moves

over Earth’s surface is called ___________.• How much erosion a

river can cause is dependent on three factors: _________, ___________, and ______________.

• Runoff

• Slope, volume of flow, and streambed shape

Erosion and Deposition• Put these in order

from smallest to largest: river, stream, rill, gully.• Which of these four

always have water running in them?

• Rill, gully, stream, river

• Stream and river

Erosion and Deposition• A loop-like bend in a

river is called a _____________.• When a meander

gets cut off from a river by damming up the ends, an _________ ______ is formed.

• Meander

• Oxbow lake

Erosion and Deposition• A area of wave-

washed sediment along a coast is called a ___________.• Beach sediment

moves with the current in a process called ____________ __________.

• Beach

• Longshore drift

Erosion and Deposition• Waves are

constantly changing the coastline. This is due to ___________ and _____________.• How are sand

dunes formed?

• Erosion and deposition

• Sand is deposited by wind. The wind continues to blow the sand and build up dunes. Deflation is most active in the desert because there is little growing to stop the wind.

Erosion and Deposition• How are beaches

formed?

• A beach that projects out into the water is called a _______.

• Rivers and streams carry eroded materials to the ocean. Longshore drift deposits these sediments to create beaches.

• spit

Erosion and Deposition• A large mass of ice

that moves slowly over land is called a _________.• The two types of

glaciers are ______ and _____________.

• Glacier

• Valley • Continental

Erosion and Deposition• Which type of glacier

spreads out over an island or continent?• How do glaciers

form?

• Glaciers pick up rocks in a process called_________.

• Continental

• More snow falls than melts. The snow must reach a depth of at least 30 to 40 meters.

• Plucking

Erosion and Deposition

Erosion and Deposition• Waves are caused by

_____ moving over the water.• A part of the shore

that sticks out into the ocean is called a ______________.

• Wind

• Headland
