It is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by physical or chemical means.
What is weathering?
100
Abrasion and Growing Plant roots are two examples of this earth process.
What is physical weathering?
100
These four forces act as agents of erosion.
What is wind, water, ice, and gravity?
100
These living things can cause rocks to weather.
What are animals and plants?
100
In Florida, most of the rivers are relatively short and do NOT flow quickly because of the flat elevation of the state. This is why Florida has very few of this kind of Landform.
What is a delta?
200
The processes where rocks are broken into smaller pieces by the action temperature change.
What is ice wedging?
200
In this kind of change a rock is still a rock. It only changes size.
What is physical weathering?
200
This landform is deposited in a triangular shape when waters from a river carry high loads of sediment and meet an ocean or a large body of water.
What is a delta?
200
Florida has lakes, rivers, deltas, dunes, mountains, and glaciers.
Which Land form(s) should not be included?
What are MOUNTAINS OR GLACIERS?
200
This landform will form along the coastline because of wave and storm action. It also protects the coastline during storms and is an example of a sand bar.
What is a barrier island?
300
The process by which eroded material is dropped or settled in a given location.
What is Deposition?
300
The source of acid in acid (rain) precipitation?
What is carbon dioxide? OR What is pollution?
300
This is what happens after erosion moves material and leaves it on the base of a mountain, but before the floodplain.
What is an alluvial fan?
300
What is special about Lake Apalachicola?
What is Lake in Florida that has a delta?
300
It is this mass of gradually moving or flowing "stuff" that can break down mountains into sediments.
What is a glacier?
400
In this reaction oxygen is the main element that starts reacting with rock minerals.
What is oxidation?
400
This agent of erosion can also cause both physical and chemical weathering, as well as create underground caves and sinkholes.
What is groundwater?
400
Erosion was demonstrated in these two lab station models; but this one showed how other factors like rocks can affect deposition.
What is lab station 2?
400
Florida beaches develop this kind of land form along its coastal areas.
What is a sand dune?
400
Wind is the primary agent of erosion in this type of dry environment.
What is the desert?
500
The only difference between these two landforms is LOCATION. One is IN water and the other is NEAR water along shores OR in deserts.
What is a dune and sandbar?
500
This chemical change can cause a change in color on he outside of the rock.
What is oxidation?
500
Although you can't see it, this agent moves water, ice, and rocks down slope.
What is gravity?
500
Ground water dissolving limestone through weathering and erosion result in this kind of depression.
What is a Sinkhole?
500
Glaciers affect Florida indirectly by doing this to the oceans.
