Mass Movement/Erosion/Rivers/Glaciers Study Guide
The following are suggested areas of study for the test that you will have next week (be sure to take notes on each
topic area, and review it for your quiz!).
Key Terms:
Runoff
Sediment
Load
Longshore drift
Plucking
Mass movement
Rills
Meanders
Delta
Moraine
Flood Plain
Alluvial Fan
Sand dune
Spit
Deposit
Headland
Sand bar
Abrasion
Deflation
Glacier
Loess
Till
Creep
Oxbow Lake
You will need to know:
1) What force causes mass movement? (89)
2) Which speed of water carries more sediment (fast, or slow)? (103)
3) Both types of glaciers, and where each one is found. (116)
4) Which part of the meander erodes faster? (103)
5) Which part of the meander is sediment being deposited? (103)
6) What force of erosion forms sea caves, wave-cut cliffs, sea arches, and sea stacks?(110)
7) What are the results of longshore drift?(111)
