The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another is called …. Deposition Abrasion Erosion
Landslides, mudflows, slump, and creep are all examples of …. Runoff Mass movement Soil formation
Mass movement is caused by …. Plucking and abrasion Gravity Erosion and deposition
A landscape in which a layer of limestone close to the surface erodes into deep valleys, caverns, and sinkholes is called …. Loess Headland Karst topography
A mass movement called ________ occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass.
The force that moves sediment in a landslide or mudflow is ________.
Water erosion begins when runoff from rainfall flows in a thin layer over the land in a kind of erosion called …. Mass erosion Creep Sheet erosion
A stream or river that runs into another stream or river is a called a …. Tributary Gully Turbulent stream
A river flowing across a wide flood plain begins to form looplike bends called …. Rills Meanders Outside curves
Where a river flows from an area of harder rock to an area of softer rock, the softer rock may wear away, eventually forming a drop called a …. Gully Delta Waterfall
A wide sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range is called a(n) …. Drainage basin Alluvial fan Slump
Deltas are built up by …. Deposition Leaching Erosion
What type of energy is involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks? Gravitational energy Potential energy Kinetic energy
What happens as gravity pulls water down a slope? Kinetic energy changes to potential energy. Energy is stored for future use. Potential energy changes to kinetic energy.
What causes most sediment to wash or fall into a river? Deposition Mass movement and runoff Turbulence
How would a fast-flowing river be most likely to move sand-sized particles of sediment? It would lift them and carry them downsteam. It would dissolve them completely in solution. It would deposit them on the streambed.
As more water flows through a river, its speed will …. Decrease Increase Reduce friction between the water and the streambed.
The volume of water that moves past a point on a river in a given time is called the river’s …. Flow Load Turbulence
What is one main difference between continental glaciers and valley glaciers? Continental glaciers are much larger and thicker. Valley glaciers cause more erosion. Continental glaciers never melt.
Glaciers can only form when …. There is an ice-age. The amount of snow exceeds the amount of rain. More snow falls than melts.
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and then are carried away when the glacier moves is called …. Plucking Surging Abrasion
Which of the following is evidence that an area was once covered by a glacier? V-shaped valley U-shaped valley Alluvial fan
After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed …. Kettles Drumlins Moraines
A ridge of till located at the farthest p0int reached by a glacier is called a …. Fiord Drumlin Terminal moraine
