100
The 2 types of weathering
Chemical weathering and Mechanical/physical weathering
100
Is erosion constructive or destructive?
destructive
100
what is deposition
the placement of sediments
100
As velocity of river flow increases, particle size eroded in the river...
increases
100
What is the dominant cause of movement in mass wasting?
Gravity
200
What does weathering do
Breaks down rocks into sediments
200
what does erosion do
Erosion moves the sediments that weathering created.
200
what does deposition do
places sediments in different areas
200
Horizon A in a soil profile is also known as...
Topsoil
200
glacial sediment
till
300
Name 2 types of chemical weathering
acid rain, dissolving, oxidation (rusting)
300
Name 2 things that could increase erosion
steep slope, less vegetation, fast water/wind
300
Name 2 depositional environments
swamp, delta, beach, dune, ocean floor, river bed
300
What two factors effect the rate of soil formation?
Climate and bedrock type.
300
What is X?
Delta
400
how is weathering different from erosion
Weathering breaks rocks and erosion moves them
400
Soil with MORE or LESS vegetation will lead to more erosion? Why?
LESS, no roots to hold soil in place
400
what goes before deposition
erosion
400
This agent of erosion is responsible for creating U-shaped valleys.
Glaciers
400
What is the name of the current that moves parallel to a beach?
Longshore
500
Is acid rain a type of weathering
Yes
500
what does erosion come after
weathering
500
what are the agents/attributes of deposition
gravity,ice,water, and wind
500
The volume of water flowing down a river is known as...
Discharge

List 3 examples of mass wasting
rockslide, mudslide, rock fall, creep, slump
