Taylor
Is weathering taking, breaking, or dropping sediment?
breaking
A ________ occurs when rock and soil slide quickly down a steep slope. They are often caused by earthquakes and in areas where road builders have cut highways through hills or mountains.
landslide
(Bonus if you knew that this is a type of mass movement)
Boiling some water on the stove for mac and cheese is an example of a _______ change.
physical change- the water is still water, but it changes from a liquid to gas (evaporation)
True or False:
Deposition breaks down rock.
False (it drops/deposits sediments)
BONUS: What planet do we live on?
Earth
What is soil made up of?
Gravel, sand, silt & clay
What is the biggest particle of soil?
Gravel (Stone)
A _______ is a very slow downhill movement of rock and soil. (Hint someone is slowly __________ up on you).
Creep
_________ moves rock sediment.
What mass movement is caused mainly by earthquakes?
Landslides
Does chemical weathering change something permanently or is it able to come back?
changes it permanently
Ex. moss (lichen) that eats away at rock over time
Process of moving a large amount of sediment downhill due to the force of gravity.
Mass Movement
What are two landforms created by water?
Sea Arch, Sea Cave
An ________ stores water underground for later use.
Aquifer
BONUS: True or False:
Uranus has a ring.
True
True or False:
"Animal action (like creating a burrow) is an example of mechanical weathering."
True
An animal that burrows is simply moving dirt/soil around so they can have a safe space.
_______ are created when wind carrying sand particles hits an obstacle and the particles slow, falling to Earth's surface.
Sand dune(s)
True or False:
A delta forms as the force of water slows at the mouth of a lake or ocean where sediments start to drop or deposit.
True
Sea caves form from ________, _________, and __________
Weathering, Erosion, Deposition
Is a burned marshmallow an example of a chemical change?
Yes- we can't "unburn" it :) The change in state (form) is permanent.
_______ occurs when wind water or ice carries particles that scrape away at exposed rock.
Abrasion
Explain how erosion is different from weathering.
Erosion moves the sediment, weathering breaks down rock first.
What is a wide deposit of sediment forming where a stream leaves a mountain range known as?
alluvial fan
True or False:
Mechanical weathering changes something permanently.
False
BONUS: Known as the "Red Planet".
Mars
