Landforms

What are the three factors that cause slow changes to Earth's surface? (Hint: 1, 2, 3)

Feature on the surface of Earth such as a mountain, hill, dune, ocean, or river

The breakdown of rock into smaller pieces from the effects of wind, water, and ice.

The gradual moving of smaller pieces by wind, water, and other natural forces

The settling, layering, and build up of land by the settlement of sediment and soil in a new location.

A deep gorge in the surface of Earth formed by the erosion of moving water and sand (Hint: Usually has a river running through it)

Hills formed by wind blowing and depositing sand

A triangular landform where a river empties into another body of water

Low area between two hills or mountains created by ice (U-shaped) or rivers (V-shaped)

How long do changes to Earth's landforms take when weathering, erosion, and deposition are a part of the steps?
