Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
2
Weathering
The breaking down of landforms, rocks, and minerals
Can be physical , chemical, or biological
3
Physical Weathering
Water getting into cracks, freezing, and breaking it apart.
A river pounding against a caynon wall and wearing it down.
Wind blasting sand at rocks and carving out an arch.
Glaciers scraping rocks and making them smaller.
Rocks being made smoother by water in a river.
4
Chemical Weathering
Acid rain.
Rust,
5
Biological Weathering
A tree growing out of a rock and splitting it
6
Erosion
The movement of sediment or soil from one place to another
Water, wind, and ice all cause erosion
7
Water Erosion
A river carries sediments down stream
Rain washes away soil
A mudslide flowing down a steep hill
Flood waters moving soil from one location to another
8
Wind Erosion
Wind picks up particles of sand and carries it away
Wind blowing sand across the beach
9
Ice Erosion
Glaciers carry rocks, soil, and sediments.
As the glaciers slowly move, it carries the sediments along with it.
Avalanches carry the sediments along with the snow down the mountainside.
10
Deposition
When particles that have been carried away by ice wind or snow are deposited, or dropped, in another location.
Landforms like sand dunes, moraines, and deltas are created by deposition
11
Water Deposition
Layers of sediments form at the bottom of the ocean.
Waves drop sand on the beach.
Rivers slow down by the mouth and deposits the sediments forming deltas.
12
Wind Deposition
Sand dunes are formed when the wind drops the sand in a new location.
13
Glacial Deposits
Moraines are formed when a glacier melts and the sediments that it had been carrying get dropped in a new place.
