This agent of erosion can
create moraines, kettle
lakes, U-shaped valleys,
etc.
GLACIERS

water flows over _______
rock and further
downstream, there is
_________ rock.
HARD, SOFT
When wind loses energy,
it can create deposits of

over the years
have been lost due
to what process?
EROSION
When forces inside Earth push
rock layers toward each other,
this can happen.
FOLDING
True or False.
When the layers of Earth are
uplifted and tilted, deposition
cannot happen again.
FALSE.
Deposition can
happen again.
There are two ways that
rock layers can change.
