  2. Plate • Gravity • Erosion • Deposition What Wears away earth materials by water, wind, or ice? Plants and trees along the river bank help protect the bank from this… 0 of 30

  3. Ramp • Interval • Hill • Slope What is often used to describe the measurement of the steepness, incline, gradient, or grade of a straight line?The higher the value indicates a steeper incline. 0 of 30

  4. Meandering Stream • Gravity • Precipitation • Floodplains What causes water to flow from higher places to lower places on the earth and in the stream table models? 0 of 30

  5. Sand grains knocking the paint off of beach houses, and a Farmer’s rich topsoil being blow away are two good examples of… • Sand dunes • Wind Erosion • Deposition • Water Erosion 0 of 30

  13. Meandering Stream • Tributary • Stream bed • Alluvial Fan A curve or loop in a river or stream, where erosion on one bank and deposits on the other bank make big curves in the riverbed. 0 of 30

  14. Levee • Dam • Algae bloom • Hydroelectric plant These are designed to hold back water so the river will not flood its banks. They provide places for people to boat, swim, and fish in the lake. In some cases they can provide electricity for a town. 0 of 30
