Sedimentation

Volcanoes repeatedly erupt and build up thick layers of lava

Rivers gradually build up eroded sediment over the of years

Wind deposits sand to form large features called sand dunes.

Rivers cut through plateaus by weathering and eroding rock

wear down landforms.

act only at sea level.

act only at high elevations.

build up landforms.

Wind depositing sand to build up sand dunes.

A river eroding soil during a flood.

Acid rain breaking down the surface of a rock.

A glacier weathering a mountainside.

all three of these layers should have the same texture.

the topsoil likely has the rockiest texture.

the C horizon likely has the rockiest texture.

the subsoil likely has the rockiest texture.

extreme acidity

rapid water drainage

extensive producer biomass

significant depth before hitting bedrock
