Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Bingo - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Wind, water, gravity, glaciers
    Agents of Erosion
  2. Fast-moving mud & water occurring in volcanic or semi-arid regions caused by melting snow from a volcanic eruption.
    Mudflow
  3. the process of returning land to its original condition after mining is completed
    Reclamation
  4. A thin block of loose Earth slides on slopes that are steep & saturated (soaked) with water; often caused by excess rain or earthquakes
    Landslide
  5. A low, triangular shaped area formed where rivers deposit sediments in the mouth of a bay or gulf.
    Delta
  6. The three main components in soil
    Sand, silt, and clay
  7. Downslope movement of loose sediments or weathered rock due to gravity
    Mass Movement
  8. The process that transports Earth's materials from one place to another by running water, glaciers, wind, gravity, and human activity
    Erosion
  9. A large moving mass of ice; the most powerful erosive force on Earth.
    Glacier
  10. Wind-blown sand sand-blasts surface of rocks.
    Abrasion
  11. Tall plants grown perpendicular to direction of wind to keep soil from blowing away
    Windbreak
  12. The process by which rocks/minerals undergo changes in composition as a result of chemical changes.
    Chemical Weathering
  13. Overlaying rocks removed by erosion, pressure is reduced, outer layers crack and are stripped away.
    Exfoliation
  14. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
    Deposition
  15. slow, steady, downhill flow of loose, weathered material on a slope.
    Creep
  16. structures built along the shoreline to combat erosion and deposition and prevent/reduce the loss of the beach
    Beach Stabilization
  17. The removal of trees without replanting; causing the loss of soil and clogged waterways with sediment (sedimentation)
    Deforestation
  18. A ridge of till that's been bull-dozed by a glacier.
    Moraine
  19. Rocks and minerals break down into smaller pieces
    Physical Weathering
  20. Water in cracks expands as it freezes, wedging the rock apart and splitting it.
    Frost Wedging
  21. The mixed debris that glaciers carry embedded in their ice; sediments deposited by a glacier.
    Till
  22. The lowering of land due to the wind removing surface particles.
    Deflation
  23. making a river, harbor, or other area of water deeper or wider by digging up sand and mud from the bottom
    Dredging
  24. A landslide in snowy mountainous areas with steep slopes with at least a 35º angle
    Avalanche
