One of the two major categories of weathering, this produces sediments with the same composition as the parent rock.

These rock formations are the result of groundwater depositing minerals on the roof of a cavern, they often found in limestone caves.

The largest waves occur when this transfers energy into the water over an extended period of time.

About 50% of the components that make up our soil is this, produced mainly from silicate rock and not living things.

Glaciers tend to carve out valleys in the shape of this letter

This is the type of mechanical weathering in which rocks bump against each other.

Higher gradient (or slope) increases the size of sediment a stream can carry, also referred to as this.

This forms when waves deposit sand off the shore into a large pile. Fun fact: Mr. Teague lived on one for three years!

This is the nutrient-rich remains of dead plants and animals found in soil. It's tasty for plants, not for people!

Of the three major soil grain sizes, this is the most permeable

Chemical weathering occurs faster in this type of climate.

This is a bend in a river, in which sediment builds up on the inner portion and the outer portion is eroded away.

This is a structure built along the shore, intended to prevent erosion.

This is the soil that remains where it was formed. It hasn't been transported by wind or water.

Hydrolysis is a form of chemical weathering in which the rock reacts with this liquid

This gas reacts with water in the air to create carbonic acid.

The sediment that is too large to be suspended in the water settles to the bottom and becomes this. It happens to be the leading cause of streambed erosion.

This is a structure built perpendicular to the beach that catches sand carried by the waves and current. Don't laugh at its name!

When looking at a soil profile, this is where I can find the soil that has undergone the least weathering

If you start a farm, maybe reconsider building it here, the flat area around a river.

This refers to the type of weathering in which water enters cracks in rocks and freezes, breaking off pieces in the process.

This is a wide triangle of deposited sediment found where a river meets a still body of water.

This refers to the bending of a wave, caused by the front portion of the wave slowing down before the rest of it as it hits the shore.

This type of soil is a healthy blend of textures. It's considered the ideal soil for farming.

Wind erosion in arid regions removes most of the small sediments, leaving the larger particles and rocks (or desert pavement) behind, in a process called this.
