What is:
EROSION
Is WEATHERING a natural process?
Yes, weathering is a natural process
Is EROSION a natural process?
Yes!
Do weathering, erosion, and deposition work together?
YES!
What caused the Grand Canyon to Erode?
What is...
Waterflow
When the earth's surface is broken down into smaller pieces.
What is:
WEATHERING
What are the 4 things that can cause weathering?

True or false:
Erosion is moving
What is:
True
What are the different ways of deposition?
What are:
a. Wind
b. Rain/Water
c. Ice
Does Erosion ever stop?
NO!
When the small pieces are deposited in a new location.
What is:
DEPOSITION
Is weathering a slow change or fast change?
Slow change
Can erosion happen before weathering?
No, weathering must occur first, then the broken pieces are carried away.
Is deposition a slow-moving or fast-moving change?
What is:
Slow Moving
What comes first, weathering or erosion?
What is...
Weathering
Small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things
What is:
Sediment
Give an example of how weathering could be destructive.
Weathering may include violent storms, such as a hurricane, or floods. These events may have long-lasting effects.
Driving along the highway in Rhode Island I noticed huge rocks along the highway. Large nets covered these rocks and seemed to go from the top to the bottom. Were these nets put in place to stop weathering or erosion?
What is:
Erosion
What pulls pieces of rock downhill to create a landslide?
What is:
Gravity
What happens when water gets inside cracks of rocks?
The rocks split open, This is a cause of erosion
Water that moves across the land surface and into streams and rivers
What is:
Runnoff
What are the different types of weathering?
What are:
a. Physical Weathering
b. Chemical Weathering
Erosion can be caused by what forces?
What is:
1. Wind
2. Ice
3. Water
What is the difference between Erosion and Deposition?
Erosion is the process by which small pieces of rock and soil are moved.
Deposition is When the small pieces are deposited in a new location.
What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the process of breaking parts of the earth down Erosion Gets rid of the elements of the earth that have moved and are left behind.
