  7. Rockfall

  8. Landslide

  9. Solifluction

  10. Solifluction

  11. Soil Creepage

  12. Soil Creep

  13. Youthful Mountains, rugged and beautiful

  14. Older and rounder, these mountains were split by plate tectonics, and the rest of them are in Africa.

  15. Peneplain mountain range

  16. A monadnock

  17. A southwest Mesa

  18. Scott’s Bluff (it’s a Butte)

  19. Section 12.4 Review List five agents (reasons) for (of) erosion. What natural phenomena can trigger a landslide? What three farming methods INCREASE the rate of soil erosion? Could you determine if a landform is a peneplain or a depositional plain by flying over it in an airplane? Explain your reasoning.
