  1. Vocabulary 11/15

  2. Deposition • Dropping of sediments that occurs when an agent of erosion loses its energy and no longer carries its load. • For example: glaciers, gravity, wind, water.

  3. Mass Movement • Also known as mass waste. • Any type of erosion that occurs as gravity moves material down-slope.

  4. Abrasion • A type of erosion that occurs when wind-blown sediments strike rocks and sediments, polishing and pitting their surface.

  5. Deflation • A type of erosion that occurs when wind blows over loose sediments, removes small particles, and leaves coarser sediments behind.
