Weathering
The three types of weathering
Biological weathering,Chemical weathering, and Physical weathering
What are the agents/attributes of erosion
water,wind,and ice
what is deposition
the deposit of sediments
what is weathering
the breaking of rocks
What does weathering do
Breaks down rocks into sediments
what does erosion do
what does deposition do
places sediments in different areas
What causes a glacier to contribute to erosion?
It moves slowly and drags rocks and soil with it
what are the agents/attributes of weathering
Ice,water,wind
Wind blowing sand that bumps into rocks and wears them down is called?
Abrasion
what are formations made by deposition
beaches, deltas, and sand dunes
what is deposition
the placement of sediments
Weathering breaks rocks and erosion moves them
what is the cause of soil erosion
what goes before deposition
erosion
What type of weathering changes rock at an atomic level?
chemical weathering
Is acid rain a type of weathering
Yes
what does erosion come after
weathering
what are the agents/attributes of deposition
gravity,ice,water, and wind
Which human action can help slow erosion?
Planting trees to protect the land
