A moraine contains rocks, sand, and clay. You do
not find them together in most hills.?
$100 Long, low hills
formed by materials carried by a glacier.
What is: a MORAINE?

What is: a SAND DUNE?
$400 Long, narrow piles of sand that help protect the mainland from wave
erosion.
What are: SAND SPITS and BARRIER ISLANDS?

What is: a MESA?
$200Deep valleys with steep
sides.
What are: CANYONS?

and volcanic eruptions
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.
$100

What is: EROSION?
$200transported particles that fall out of the transporting medium and
settle on a surface
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?
$100
An area of new land at the mouth of a river
What is: a DELTA?
$200
The curst, mantle, inner core, outer core
What are: the four layers of the earth?
$300Blocks of crust and upper
mantle rock that fit together like puzzle
pieces.
What are: PLATES
$400
The movement of the ground caused by a
sudden release of energy in Earth’s crust.
What is: an EARTHQUAKE?
$500Melted, molten rock
What is MAGMA?
