What's It Mean?
This is the chemical and physical breakdown of rocks into sediment.
What is weathering?
Wind and water can carry sand and small pieces of rock to new locations. True or False
What is True?
This age river flows fast and straight.
What is young?
The difference between weathering and erosion is: a. weathering causes a quick change in landforms and erosion causes a slow change in landforms. b. weathering breaks rocks into sediments and erosion moves sediment from one place to another.
What is B?
These are small pieces that break off of rocks.
What is sediments?
This is the primary agent of erosion.
What is running water?
The difference between erosion and deposition is: a. erosion moves sediment from one place to another and deposition is a physical feature on the Earth. b.erosion is the process of moving sediment from one place to another and deposition is the process of dropping or depositing, sediment in a new location
What is B?
These gigantic formations of ice do not completely melt over a year.
What is a glacier?
This is the process by which weathered rock is picked up and moved to a new place.
What is erosion?
As this increases, the size of the particles carried increases.
What is velocity?
Name a difference between chemical and physical weathering.
What is chemical weathering changes the rock's minerals breaking down bonds AND physical weathering breaks apart rocks without changing chemical composition.
This is a growing pile of deposited sediment at the mouth of a river.
What is a delta?
The differences between a young and old river.
What is a young river has waterfalls, rapids, and V-shaped valleys and an old river produces deltas?
This causes landslides, mudflows, and slump/creep.
What is gravity?
This area is defined by climate, landforms, and soil characteristics.
What is an ecoregion?
All of the following are forces that change landforms EXCEPT: a. wind b. moving water c. glaciers d. physical features
What is D -physical features?
Physical weathering is caused by all of these except
a. abrasion b. burrowing c. ice wedging d. oxidation
What is D?
The Statue of Liberty is an example of this type of weathering.
What is oxidation/chemical weathering?
This occurs as the material wears away at the surface; caused by wind, water, or glaciers.
What is abrasion?
