Weathering
Weathering
The process of moving rocks, soil, and sand by means of water and wind.
Erosion
A mass of ice that covers a large area and moves slowly.
Glacier
The oxidation of minerals that contain iron.
Chemical Weathering
Geology is the study of __________.
Earth or Land
Fragments of broken rock.
Sediments.
How do glaciers contribute to erosion?
The pick up sediments in the ice and carry it away
A large natural elevation of the earth's surface rising abruptly from the surrounding level.
Mountain.
Lifted sections of sidewalk along tree lined streets.
Physical Weathering
Define Science.
The study of the physical and natural world through observation and experimentation
When water freezes it breaks down rocks by this type of weathering.
Physical Weathering
Which agent of erosion can form sand dunes?
Wind
A wetland area that forms as river waters empty sedimens into a larger body of water.
Delta
Decaying plants dissolve some of the minerals in the rocks.
Chemical Weathering
This safety gear should be worn to protect your eyes during lab.
Safety Goggles
Where would you most likely find rocks that are smooth or rounded?
In a fast moving river or stream.
The physical process of rubbing, scouring, or scraping whereby particles of rock are eroded away by friction.
Abrasion.
This landform protects the coast against high waves and storms.
Sand dunes
Acids form plant roots which break up rocks.
Chemical Weathering.

Which erosional force acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides?
Gravity
A line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean or a lake.
