What types of changes are included in the process of weathering? A. Chemical changes B. Physical changes C. Both
C. Both
What is the process of erosion?
Erosion is when moving water carries away small pieces of rock.
What is Erosion?
the process of eroding by wind, water, ice, or even gravitational pull.
What comes first, weathering or erosion?
Weathering
Do humans have anything to do with weathering and or erosion? Explain
Yes, depending on how we take care of earth, earth will take care of us. Many storms occur based on how we take care of the water and air on earth.
What process involves the breaking down of rocks over time due to wind?
Weathering
Which of the following are erosion processes? A.Gravity erosion- Movement down a lope due of gravity. B.Water erosion- Erosion caused by either raindrops or heavy rain. C. Shoreline erosion- Occurs due to the action of currents and waves. D. Wind erosion- Movement of material by the wind.
A. B. C. D.
What is weathering?
Weathering is the process of breaking down and weakening sediments that will be moved by erosion.
What direction does erosion move earth materials?
Downward
Are erosion and weather dependent on one another? Explain
Yes- They both need to occur for the cycle to continue.
The grand canyon is an example of what type of erosion?
by water
Erosion can be caused by what kind of weathering? Must be able to name at least 3 different kinds.
1. Wind 2. Ice 3. Water 4. Gravity
What is the dropping down of sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity?
Deposition
When lightening strikes and hits a rock what type of earth's processes is taking place?
Weathering
What pulls pieces of rock downhill to create a landslide?
Gravity
When my grandmothers house was built I remember the paint on the porch was white. Now it has chipped. What is this caused by?
Weathering
While driving along the highway in Pennsylvania I noticed huge rocks along the highway. Large nets covered these rocks and seemed to go from the top to the bottom. Were these nets put in place to stop weathering or erosion?
erosion
What are sediments?
crushed rocks and rubble
Deposition
What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the process of breaking parts of the earth down Erosion Gets rid of the elements of the earth that have moved and are left behind.
Give an example of how weathering could be destructive.
Weathering may include violent storms, such as a hurricane, or flood. These events or occurences may have long lasting effects.
True or False
Erosion always takes a very long time to happen.
False
Water, wind, ice, and plant roots are all examples of which type of Earths Processes?
Weathering
When rainwater enters the cracks of a rock, freezes, and causes the rock to break apart this is which type of Earth's processes?
Weathering
What is deposition?
Deposition is when particles are carried by water, wind, ice, and deposited into a new location.
