Sedimentary Rocks, Fossil Fuels, and Landforms Vocabulary (redo)

Delta is

• a triangular shaped landform at the mouth of a river

• the movement of sediment

• a mountain of sand formed by deposition

• a landform carved out by wind and water

Deposition

• the dropping of sediment in a new location

• the breaking down of larger rocks into sediment

• the movement of sediment

• a landform carved out by wind and water

Erosion

• the dropping of sediment in a new location

• the breaking down of larger rocks into sediment

• the movement of sediment

• a mountain of sand formed by deposition

Weathering

• the dropping of sediment in a new location

• a triangular shaped landform at the mouth of a river

• the breaking down of larger rocks into sediment

• the movement of sediment

5. Sand Dune

• the dropping of sediment in a new location

• a triangular shaped landform at the mouth of a river

• a mountain of sand formed by deposition

• a landform carved out by wind and water

Canyon

• a triangular shaped landform at the mouth of a river

• the breaking down of larger rocks into sediment

• a mountain of sand formed by deposition

• a landform carved out by wind and water

Which information best describes a sand dune?

• Found at the mouth of fast-flowing rivers, like the Mississippi. Formed by water erosion and deposition.

• Found all over the world and often called ravines or gorges. Formed by both wind and water weathering and erosion.

• Found in deserts and along coastlines, like the Sahara Desert. Formed by wind erosion and deposition.

Sand dunes and deltas are formed by similar processes. What process must occur for both to be formed?

• Erosion of sediments

• Deposition of sediments

• Weathering of sediments

• Rapid changes
