A moraine contains rocks, sand, and clay. You do

not find them together in most hills.?

$100 Long, low hills

What is: PLATE MOVEMENT?

$400What makes sand dunes and moraines similar?

What is: Both are kinds of hills?

$500How can wind change

landforms?

Wind can weather landforms and carry away

tiny pieces of rock.

$100 How can

water cause a river’s banks to change?

Water can erode a river’s banks and carry away sediment, making the river wider. Sediment deposited on a river’s banks makes the river

narrower.

What is: DEPOSITION?

$300MoLten rock that reaches

earth’s surface

What is: LAVA?

$400

the wearing away of Earth’s surface by the

breakdown and transportation of rock and

soil

What is EROSION?

$500the natural processes that break down and change rock into soil, sand, and other materials; differs from erosion in that no transportation of those materials takes place

What is WEATHERING?
