Mod F, Lesson 1.1 Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Review

Check all of the agents of weathering.

When camping in west Texas, we wake one morning to discover that our car and tent are covered with a thin layer of sand. This is an example of:

A beautiful display of bluebonnets bloomed along the bank of the river, but after the storm last night, the flowers and a large section of the soil in which they grew is gone. What is this an example of?

When we walk along the seashore, we look for shark teeth in the sand. Sometimes we also find unbroken sand dollars, too. This is an example of

This landform is created by deposition.

As a river approaches the ocean, the water speed __________ and sediments are ______________.

How does freezing water cause the weathering of rocks?

The two types of weathering are...

Sand dunes form as a result of...

Sandy beaches are built up through the process of...

The destructive force caused by the chemical reactions of water, oxygen, carbon, and other chemicals in the presence of moisture and heat is known as...

The deposition of sediment at the mouth of a river is a constructive force known as a...

_____________ is the dropping off/ depositing of rocks.

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

Which of the following agents is the usually responsible for the formation of canyons?

Which type of sediment does wind erosion most strongly affect?

The image above depicts the effects of chemical weathering breaking down limestone. Which type of chemical weathering causes this reaction?

A type of chemical weathering in which a substance combines with oxygen, as when iron oxidizes, forming rust.

The grinding/scratching away of rock by other rock particles carried in water, ice, or wind

What do we call the process in which rock is broken down by changes in its chemical makeup.

Plant root grow in a rock and cause it to split.

A fast-moving river carries rocks downstream.

Waves dropping sand on the beach.

Flood water pounds against a wall and wears it down.

Wind blowing sand from one location to another.

Layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean.

Rainwater enters the cracks of a rock, freeze, and causes the rock to break apart.

The soil from a hillside is washed away by rain.

Sand is dropped when the wind stops blowing and forms sand dunes.

Fast running water causes rocks to hit one another breaking them into smaller rocks.

A mudslide flowing down a steep hill.

When glaciers melt, they drop the rocks they were carrying.

Water, wind, ice, and gravity are all causes of weathering.

Erosion is the process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity move pieces of rock and soil.

Deposition is the dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity.
