WARM-UP #2
Mass movement
ANSWER
A huge chunk of ice that moves over the land is a(n) ___________________.
WARM-UP #3
glacier
ANSWER
The form of mass movement that moves all at once is called _________________.
WARM-UP #4
slump
ANSWER
Gravity – is the force that moves rocks and other materials
Mass movement – any one of several processes that move sediment down hill.
Run off – water that moves over Earth’s surface
VOCABULARY
The process by which wind picks up sediment from the surface is ________________.
WARM-UP #5
deflation
ANSWER
When rocks and soil move very slow down a hill, it is called _________________.
WARM-UP #6
creep
ANSWER
Tiny pieces of sediment that are dropped by the wind are ______________________.
WARM-UP #7
loess
ANSWER
_____________ causes all types of mass movements.
WARM-UP #8
gravity
ANSWER
Meanders – loop like bends in the course of a river
Groundwater – water that is under the ground
Glaciers – large mass of ice that moves over land slowly…forms where there is more snow falls than melts
VOCABULARY

WARM-UP #11
glacier
ANSWER
Most ______________ comes from weathering.
WARM-UP #12
sediment
ANSWER
Deflation – the process by which wind pick up sediment from the surface.
Loess – tiny pieces of sediment that are dropped by the wind.
Pluck – the picking up of rock by a glacier as it moves over the land slowly.
Deposition – deposits of sediment that have eroded off the land.
