Forces that cause erosion gravity, waves, wind, running water, glaciers Factors that determine the amount of runoff amount of rain in an area, vegetation, type of soil, shape of the land, how the land has been used stalactite deposits that hang like an icicle from the roof (hanging tight) stalagmite slow dripping builds up a cone-shaped deposit from the cave floor (it might touch the ceiling) The process by which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over the land. plucking glacial deposition deflation loess deposits Deposits of sediment with a finer grain than sand, such as clay and silt. plucking glacial deposition deflation loess deposits When a glacier melts, it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms. plucking glacial deposition deflation loess deposits The process by which wind removes surface materials. plucking glacial deposition deflation loess deposits What are the 2 types of glaciers.
