All of earth's landforms are found on what layer of the earth?

crust

Using the destructive process this u-shaped valley was formed by a ________.

glacier

An opening in the earth's crust through which lava, ash, and gases escape.

volcano

The landform is created by the constant battering of the waves.

sea cave

This landform is formed when the "ceiling" of a sea arch is eroded by waves.

sea stack

This landform is formed when waves erode both sides of a headland.

sea arch

A landform created from the deposition of sediment at the mouth of a river

delta

Using the constructive process, this landform is created from the deposition of sand in large hill-like structures. The wind causes these structures to constantly change.

sand dune

This slow-moving river of ice deposits sediment when it melts.

glacier

This landform is a made by a destructive process. This steep-walled landform was created by a river.

canyon

This landform is formed by a destructive process and can either be v-shaped or u-shaped according to how it was formed.

valley

Formed by the constructive process, this landform rises 1,000 feet or more from earth's surface.

mountain

A tool that measures the size of seismic waves, which are energy waves caused by earthquakes

seismograph

Scientists use data from radar, satellite images, and maps to predict where floods are most likely to occur. This helps people prepare.

flood forecast

A structure built in paved areas that allows rainwater to drain of of streets and parking lots

storm drain

A structure built or naturally formed along the sides of a river that raises the riverbank, which makes flooding less likely

levee

A structure built across a waterway to control the amount of water on either side and prevents flooding

dam

Planting crops along the natural curves of the land, which prevents rainwater from washing sediment from the field

contour plowing

Carving flat areas into steep hillsides so that crops can grow; prevents gravity and rain from pulling the soil and sediment down the hill

terracing

Planting trees around the perimeter of a field of crops to block wind and reduce erosion

windbreak

Adding plants to exposed sand or dirt to prevent erosion

planting

Adding sand to an eroded beach; also called beach nourishment

beach reclamation

A structure built at a right angle from the beach into the ocean, meant to prevent sand from eroding too far down the beach

sea groin

A structure built between a beach and a community to prevent erosion

sea wall
