load		beach formed by longshore drift that projects into the water
stream		wide valley through which a river flows
energy		small depression that forms when a chuck of ice is left in glacial till
rill		movement of water and sediment down a beach when waves come in to shore at an angle
glacier		amount of sediment that a river carries
continental glacier		meander cut off from a river
oxbow lake		one of several processes by which gravity moves sediment downhill
beach		deposit of wind-blown sand
deposition		large mass of moving ice and snow on land
sand dune		the time period Earth's surface was covered by large continental glaciers
mass movement		wind erosion that removes surface soil
gravity		process by which fresh water from a river meets salt water from the ocean
runoff		wide sloping sediment deposit formed where a stream leaves a mountain ridge
erosion		ridge formed by the till deposited at the edge of a glacier
sediment		wave-washed sediment along a coast
till		glacier that covers much of continent
plucking		wind-formed deposit made of fine particles of clay and slit
meander		sediments deposited directly by a glacier
longshore drift		earth materials deposited by erosion
ice age		sediment landfrom deposited formed where a river flows into an ocean or lake
valley glacier		looplike bend in the course of a river
loess		part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean
headland		ability to do work, cause change
allivial fall		process by which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over the land
spit		the galcier that forms when sno and ice build up in a mountain valley
moraine		force that moves rocks and other materials downhill
flood plain		process in which sediment is laid down in new locations
delta		water that flows over the ground surface rather than soakig into the ground
kettle		channel through which water is continually flowing downhill
deflation		tiny groove in soil made by flowing water
