Mass Movements, Wind, and Glaciers

 What do I need to learn?

1) What is the relationship between gravity and mass movements?

2) What factors affect mass movements?

3) Can I distinguish between types of mass movements?  

4) How do mass movements affect the gorge?  The Dalles?

5) Can I describe different ways in which glaciers shape the surface of earth?

6) Can I recognize glacial features left behind on earth?
