1. SCI TIP Describe the differences of Sand, Silt, & Clay Which sediment travels by wind furthest? Why? What is a Loess Deposit? How did it get there?

2. SCI TIP Describe Glacial EROSION. Describe Glacial DEPOSITION. What is a TOPO MAP? How does it work? List 2 facts about WIND EROSION. What is a MASS MOVEMENT? List and describe 2.

3. MASS MOVEMENTS

8. MASS MOVEMENT mass movement, is the geomorphic process by which soil and rock move down slope under the force of gravity.

11. When the gravitational force acting on a slope exceeds its resisting force, slope failure (mass wasting) occurs. –Can be FAST or slow

12. Triggers of Mass Movements Rain Spring Thaws Volcanic Eruptions Earthquakes –MOST COMMON?

14. Rockfall/Slide Fall of rock from steep cliff. –Most rapid kind of mass movement) –Sediment ranges in size from small fragments to large BOULDERS.

17. Landslide Sudden movement of masses of loose rock and soil down the slope of a hill, mountain, or cliff.

21. Mudflow/Lahar Rapid movement of large masses of mud. –Lahar: volcanic eruption involved. Occur in dry/Mountainous regions that receive large amounts of rainfall in a short period of time.

22. MUDFLOW/LAHAR

29. Slump Sliding of one large piece of soil down a hillside.

39. Creep Slow downhill movement of weathered rock material.

40. Creep Creep

41. Some visible effects of creep Some visible effects of creep

42. CREEP

48. Solifluction Slow down-hill flow of wet, muddy topsoil over frozen clay-rich subsoil.
