Hi my name is Victor Coles

Today I be teaching you on agents of erosion and deposition

Today I will teach you on some vocabulary

• A shoreline is where land and body of water meet

Here is a listsShorelineBeachLongshore currentSaltationDeflationAbrasionDuneLoessGlacierCrevasseGlacial driftStratified driftTillMass movementRock fallLandslidesMudflowcreep

• A beach is any area of shorelines

A longshore current is moveement of water near and parallel to the shoreline

A saltation is the wind occur material of sand size particles by skipping and

bouncing in the wind causes the paritcles in the direction the wind bolwing

A deflation is lifting and removal of fine sediment by wind

A abrasion is grinding and wearing down of rock surfaces by other rock or sand particular

A dune are mounds of wind deposited sand

A loess are wind can deposit material much finer than sand. Thick deposit of this windblown fine grained sediment

A glacier is an enormous mass of moving ice

A iceberg is larger pieces of ices that break off an ice shelf and drift into the oceans

A crevasse is a glacier flows forward sometimes crevasse occur

A glacial drift is the general terms used to describe all material

carried and deposition

What is stratified drift it is rock material that has been sorted and deposited in layers by water flowing from melted ice

What is mass movement it is movement of any materials such as rock

What is rock fall it is when a group of losses rock falls down a step slope

What is landslide it is sudden movement of a large amount of material

What is a mudflow it is a rapid movement of large mass of mud

What is a creep it is a extremely slow movement of material down slope

summary

• I have learn so much from doing this project it has taught me so much more. I would like to do this again. By Victor Coles
