5 Written Questions

1. when wind blows across loose sediment, removing small particles such as silt and sand
2. when windblown sediment strikes rock, the surface of the rock gets scraped and worn away
3. Large deposits of windblown sediments
4. occurs when sediments slowly shift their positions downhill
5. as ice retreats, a jumble of boulders, sand, clay, and silt is left behind. The mixture of different-sized sediments is called till
