These are two ways that rocks are broken down into smaller pieces.
What are physical and chemical weathering?
these large, FROZEN landforms can be found on every continent, including Africa.
What is a GLACIER
Water, wind, ice and gravity are forms of physical weathering, unlike _______ and ______which are forms of chemical weathering.
What is OXIDATION, ACID RAIN, ACID GROUNDWATER
This lake covers over 400,000 acres of area and is the largest lake in Florida.
What is LAKE OKEECHOBEE?
______ create U-shaped valleys while _______ make V-shaped valleys.
What are GLACIERS and RIVERS?
These two formations can be created only by WIND.
What are DUNES and MUSHROOM ROCKS?
A ______ is formed by deposited sand in the water NEAR A BEACH but moves and has little vegetation (plants) growing on it.
What is a SANDBAR?
Decaying leaves affect rocks in the soil below them by releasing acids which could cause this.
What is CHEMICAL WEATHERING?
These must exist before a sinkhole can form
What is a CAVE?
Wind can erode and deposit this very fine form of sediment.
What are LOESS?
These two living organisms can contribute to physical weathering.
What are PLANTS and ANIMALS?
These two places are where I can find dunes.
What are BEACHES and DESERTS?
This is created when a river slows down, depositing sediment as it flows into a large body of water
What is a DELTA?
When a lake in Florida loses water and becomes shallower, ______ is the most likely reason.
What is LACK OF RAINFALL?
Rockfalls, mudflows , landslides and this are all ways in which gravity can move land down a slope.
What is a CREEP?
These "-ion" processes are forms of both chemical and physical weathering.
What are OXIDATION and ABRASION?
When a cave collapses forming a sinkhole, ______ will determine whether it can hold water and become a lake.
What is SEDIMENT?
Rivers deposit sediment past their delta and into the ocean. This reason could explain why a river might drop its sediment in the delta itself.
What is a lack of rain/low water levels?
These landforms are the reason Florida changes size as sea levels go up and down with the world's climate.
What are GLACIERS?
These two landforms are clues that a continental glacier created them.
What are KETTLE LAKES AND ERRATICS?
These two properties influence how much erosion the stream makes.
What are SPEED and VOLUME
This forms when windy desert areas are almost completely cleared of sand, leaving behind many, many rocks.
What is a DESERT PAVEMENT?
Like a delta, this is formed when a stream carrying sediment slows and weakens, depositing its sediment on land.
What is an ALLUVIAL FAN?
These two animals contribute to physical weathering here on Marco Island.
What are GOPHER TORTOISES and BURROWING OWLS?
