3. Our Changing Earth Flashcards
Types of forces affecting earth
Endochanic and exogenic
Types of endogenic forces
Sudden forces and diastrophic forces
Origin point of the earthquake
Focus
The place on the surface above the focus
Epicenter
The earthquake is a measured with a machine called
Seismograph
The magnetic of the earthquake is measured on
Richter scale
Weathering
The breaking of rocks
Erosion
Wearing away of landscap
Deposition
The United material is carried away by water wind etc and eventually deposited
Waterfall originates when
When the river dumbbells at steep angle over very hard rock or down a steep valley
Highest waterfall in the world
Angel falls of a Venezuela in South America
Niagara falls located
Border between Canada and USA
Waterfall on the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe
Victoria falls
Levees
The raised banks of river are called levees .
It is a depositional feature
Levees

Delta
The collection of sediments from all the mouths forms a delta
Sea arches
Cavities become bigger and bigger only the room of the case remains that form csea arches
Sea caves
Hollow like caves are formed on the rock . they are called pk
Headland
A headland is a coastal landform that juts out into a body of water, usually high and often with a sheer drop
Sea stack
A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast
Sea cliff
A cliff is an area of rock which has a general angle defined by the vertical, or nearly vertical
Beaches
The he wave the deposit sediments along the shores forming beaches
Stamp
Small stack
The material carried by the glacier are called
Glacier moraines
Mushroom rock
Rock and the shape of a mushroom usually found in the desert
it is a product of wind erosion
Sand dunes in which feature
Depositional feature
in the desert
Loess
The grains of sand that are very fine and light the wind can carry over alone distance
Such hand is deposited in larger it is called l looses
Types of earthquake waves
P waves
S waves
L waves
