What are three types of weathering?

Physical (Mechanical), Chemical, Biological 

100
The Grand Canyon is an example of...
Erosion by water.
100
Name three landforms.
Mountains, hills, canyons, valleys, bays, peninsulas, delta's, caves, buttes, etc.
100
What two things are essential for the process of deposition?
Flowing rivers and Streams.
100
What is the difference between a mesa and butte?
Mesas are eroded away and become even smaller, creating a butte.
200
What is an example chemical weathering?
Acid
200
How is erosion different than weathering?
Weathering is the breaking down of rock, and erosion is the movement of rock and soil over Earth's surface.
200
Islands, peninsulas, bays, and coves are examples of what?
Coastal landforms.
200
True or False: Deposition contributes to the making of a cave.
False, Erosion, and Chemical weathering are major contributors.
200
Give three ways erosion by water can occur.
Running water, waves, glaciers.
300
Creates rust, sinkholes, and caves.
What is chemical weathering?
300
What is erosion by water?
The process of sediment being moved by flowing bodies of water.
300
Besides weathering, erosion, and deposition what else can create landforms?
Glaciers, water, and wind.
300
What relation does deposition have with erosion?
Eroded sediments are dropped, it ends the process of erosion.
300
Does deposition end the process of erosion or the cycle itself?
Both, although the cycle starts over again but is still ended with deposition.
400
What is chemical weathering?
Disintegration of rocks from chemical reactions.
400
What is erosion by gravity?
Rocks on hillsides are loosened by weathering processes, and then gravity pulls the pieces downhill.
400
What causes landforms?
The process of weathering, erosion, deposition, tectonic uplift, and volcanoes.
400
Does deposition tear down or build up Earth's surface?
Builds up. Deposited sediments add on to the the Earth 's surface.
400

What is the difference between chemical and mechanical/physical weathering?

Chemical weathering involves a chemical change to a substance or rock and mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of a rock by the action of temperature change and water.

500
What is physical weathering?
The breaking down of rock into smaller pieces by the action of wind, water, and temperature change.
500
What is erosion?
The process in which wind, water, ice or other things move pieces of rock and soil over Earth's surface.
500
What are landforms?
Naturally occurring features of the Earth's surface.
500
What is deposition?
Occurs when eroded sediments are dropped at another location.
500
How are weathering, erosion, deposition, and landforms connected?
Weathering, Erosion , and Deposition create a cycle that builds up and tears down Earth 's surface. Landforms are the outcome of the cycle.
