  3. Beach • Is any area of the shoreline made up of material deposited by waves

  4. Longshore Current • Is a movement of water near and parallel to the shoreline

  5. Saltation • Is the movement of sand-sized particles by skipping and bouncing action in the direction the wind is blowing

  6. Deflation • The lifting and removal of fine sediment by wind removes the top layer of fine sediment or soil, leaving behind rock fragments that are too heavy to be lifted by the wind.

  7. abrasion • The grinding and wearing down of rock surfaces by other rock or sand particles.

  8. dunes • The mounds of wind-deposited sand are called dunes.

  9. loess • Thick deposits of this windblown, fine-grained sediment.

  10. glacier • An enormous mass of moving ice.

  11. Summary • A quick summary about our chapter is that Erosion and Deposition is mostly on water and Sand.
