What is Erosion?
The MOVEMENT of sediment or soil from one location to another by means of water, ice, or wind.

What is Deposition??
When the particles that were carried by water, ice, or wind are DEPOSITED (DROPPED) into another location..

200
What 3 things can carry the sediments to the drop-off area (deposition)??
Water, Wind, Ice
200
What type of landform is this? mountain, plateau, valley, or canyon?
Canyon
200
A DELTA IS FORMED AT THE MOUTH OF A RIVER
DEPOSITION
200
Glaciers dropping rock and sand to form terminal moraines.
Deposition
200
This occurs when landforms are slowly worn down over time by outside forces.
Weathering
300

TRUE
300
What type of landform is this? mountain, plateau, valley, or canyon?
Valley
300
Layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean.
Deposition
300
Wind blasting sand at rock and carving out arches.
Weathering
300
Sand dunes are created when sand is moved and deposited by ____
Wind
400
What is the difference between Chemical and Physical weathering?
Physical weathering physically breaks the rocks apart, while chemical weathering changes the rocks' texture, color, etc.
400
WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF EROSION?
Sediments/rocks flowing down stream to a delta.
The wind blowing sand to another location.
400
What is an example of DEPOSITION??
A Sand Dune, Delta, etc.
400
A slow-moving river of ice is called this.
Glacier

DUE TO RAIN, THE PAINT ON AN OUTSIDE BENCH BEGINS TO CRACK
WEATHERING
400
Flood water pounding against a canyon wall and wearing it down.
Weathering
400
What TWO processes are happening below:
Wind blowing sand from one location to another and forming sand dunes.
Erosion & deposition.
500
How is weathering different from erosion?
Weathering= breaking
Erosion= moving
500
TRUE/FALSE
Erosion happens after deposition.
FALSE
500
If weathering breaks the rock down, and erosion moves it, what is deposition?
Deposition is the place in which the rocks that were broken down settle after being moved.
