What's It Mean?
The breaking down of rock on Earth's surface into smaller pieces.
What is weathering?
What two agents of erosion carry sand and small pieces of rock to new locations.
wind and water
Volcanoes change Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is quickly?
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.
c. erosion occurs before weathering
What is B?
What are small rocks and other materials that have been weathered?
sediments
Mountains, valleys, canyons, sand dunes and other surface features of the land.
What are landforms?
When rainwater seeps into cracks in rocks and __________, it expands and causes the rock to split apart.
What is freezes?
Weathering changes Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is slowly?
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. deposition is the process of dropping , or depositing , sediment in a new location and erosion is the process of moving sediment from one place to another.
c. deposition breaks down rock and erosion drops it
What is B?
Gigantic formations of ice that do not completely melt over the course of a year.
What is a glacier?
The process by which weathered rock is picked up and moved to a new place.
What is erosion?
What does weathering do to rocks over long periods of time.
Break them or make them smaller?
Erosion can change the shape of the land faster than a volcano can. True or False.
What is False?
Name a difference between weathering and erosion.
What is weathering makes things smaller, and erosion moves it?
A growing pile of deposited sediment at the mouth of a river.
What is a delta?
Huge sheets of ice that move slowly over land.
What are glaciers?
Sediment that is carried down to the mouth of the river end up where?
What is the delta?
Put these in order of when they happen: deposition, erosion and weathering
What is weathering, erosion, and deposition?
The difference between a delta and a sand dune:
What is deltas are formed by moving water. Sand dunes are made by wind and water?
A large area of flat land
What is a plain?
The sudden movement of rocks and soil down the side of a hill because of gravity and rain.
What is a landslide?
All of the following are forces that change landforms EXCEPT: a. wind b. moving water c. glaciers d. ice e. physical features
What is physical features?
Landslides are quick changes to the land. They can be caused by: A. magma and rain B. gravity and rain c. wind and rain d. ice and rain
What is gravity and rain?
The difference between seismologist and a seismograph.
What is a semiologist studies earthquakes and the seismologist is the equipment that they use to study earthquakes?
What is a canyon?
A narrow steep-walled deep v-shaped valley formed when a river cuts through rocks
