Glacial Valley - Formed by the movement of glaciers Shaped like the letter “u”

Erosion - The process of moving sediment from one place to another Caused by wind, water, or ice (sediment moves away). Deposition - The process of dropping, or depositing, sediment in a new location (sediment piles up or gets added).

Presentation Transcript

  1. Erosion - The process of moving sediment from one place to anotherCaused by wind, water, or ice (sediment moves away)

  2. Deposition - The process of dropping, or depositing, sediment in a new location (sediment piles up or gets added)

  3. Moraine - Formed from glacial debris (what glaciers picked up as they moved)Made of rocks and soil

  4. Glacial Valley - Formed by the movement of glaciersShaped like the letter “u”

  5. Canyon - Deep, narrow valley located between rocky cliffsHas steep sidesThe canyon carved by a river has the shape of the letter “V”

  6. River Valley - Caused by river erosionRiver carries sediment that wears away the rockV-shaped

  7. Sand Dune - Mound or hill made of sandFound in deserts, near bodies of water, or at the foot of a mountainForms from wind causing sand to pile up

  8. Sandbar - Ocean currents pick up sediments and carry the sediments a short distance.Sediments are deposited. Deposits rise gradually, forming a bar

  9. Delta - Usually located where a river runs into a large body of water (such as an ocean).Fan-shaped like the letter D.In a river, water moves and causes the sediments it was carrying to be deposited. Sediments build up, forming a delta.

  10. Natural Bridge/Natural Arch - Geological formation where a rock arch forms with an opening underneath.May be formed by wind or water.

  11. Stalagmites/Stalactites - Formed from minerals depositing on cave floors (stalagmites) or cave ceilings (stalactites).
