Weathering
Rocks breaking/wearing down.
What is weathering?
Movement of rock particles by wind, water, ice, waves and gravity
What is erosion?
The boundary between the land and water
What is a coastline?
The process in which sediments (soil and rocks) build up to create a land or added to a landform.
What is deposition?
Which sphere is all of the frozen water on Earth?
The Cryosphere
Breaking down of rocks through a chemical process.
What is chemical weathering?
Erosion moves the sediment to a new location
How does erosion effect the process of deposition?
A large mass of ice formed from falling snow slowly moving down a mountain.
What is a glacier?
Wind, water, ice, waves and gravity cause deposition.
What causes(agents) of deposition?
Which sphere is all of the rock and landforms on Earth?
The Geosphere/Lithosphere
Rock is physically broken down into smaller pieces by process
What is mechanical weathering?
Coastlines or sand dunes get moved by water during storms causing erosion.
How erosion can effect landforms?
What landform is formed at the end of a river into an ocean or bay caused by deposition of sediment?
A Delta
Deltas, beaches, coastlines, and glacial moraines.
What are examples of deposition?
The sphere with all of the living things on Earth?
The Biosphere
What is an example of a landform caused by weathering?
Caves and Beaches
What is an example of landforms caused by erosion?
Canyons and Valleys
By weathering and erosion from waves.
How are coastlines formed?
Sand dunes form when wet sand is deposited along the the beach by wind.
How can deposition create sand dunes?
The sphere with all of the NON- Frozen water on Earth?
The Hydrosphere
