Deposition
what is the definition of deposition
occurs where the agents of erosion deposit or lay down sediment
what are the 4 mass movements
landslides,mudflows,slumps,creeps
what is the definition of weathering
wear away or change the appearance or texture of something by long exposure to the air
what are the 4 spheres
biosphere,geosphere,hydrosphere,atmosphere
what are all the landforms
glaciers,waterfall,island,hill,mountain,river floodplain,sand dune,coastlines,delta,lakes,volcano
what activity relates to deposition
when ants build there mounds it is called the ant activity
which mass movement is the most harmful
mudflows
what are the other 2 types of weathering
chemical and mechanical
does biosphere deal with bacteria and algae
yes
what landforms are in florida
coastlines,dunes,hills
does deposition change the earths surface
yes
which mass movement is least harmful
creeps
what is the definition of chemical weathering
the process that breaks down rock through chemical changes
what is geosphere for
earth surface
what is the definition of coastlines
the outline of a coast,especially with regard to its shape and apearance
what does deposition cause
water,wind,ice,gravity
what is loess
fine winds deposited
what is the definition of mechanical weathering
rock physically broken down into smaller pieces
is atmosphere for
air
how are deltas formed
created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves,it enters slowly
how does erosion effect deposition
it can help or harm
how do sinkholes occur
areas of land where soluble bedrock such as limestone and gypsum can be dissolved by water
what do geologists make inferences about what processes shaped earths surface in the past based on
principle of uniformitarianism
does hydrosphere have to deal with wind,water, or air
water
how are glaciers formed
when snow remains in the same year round and is compacted into a glacier
