what is deposition
the carrying/transporting of eroded rock
100
what is the difference between deposition and erosion
erosion is the movement and breaking down of weathered rocks and deposition is the depositing of those sediments (eroded rock)
100
which is the strongest type of erosion A-DEMONSTARTIVE B-CELEBRATORIVE C-ALL OF THE ABOVE D-NONE OF THE ABOVE
D THERE ARE NO TYPES OF EROSION
100
define acid in ground water
a high concentration of acid in the ground water or aquifer
100
what happens after a plant starts to grow in a rock
the roots become so strong that they can split the rock IN HALF
200
are animals a benefit to weathering or a disadvantages EXPLAIN
animals are a benefit because they dig out burrows and move rocks to make a home
200
what is deposition doing to the Gulf of Mexico (think lakes rivers and other landforms
its causing a big delta
200
what do waves do in erosion
they carry sand of the beach and into the ocean
200
what is a lichen
a lichen is a bacteria that grows on rocks and breaks them down
200
an animal that is burrowing in the ground are an agent of which type of weathering A-chemical B-depositional C-mechanical D-ice wedging
what is C mechanical weathering
300
define abrsion
the grinding and wearing away of rock surfaces through a mechanical action
300
why is deposition important
it carries many sediments to new places and without them they would just stay in one place
300
What is acid precipitation and what causes this
Rain sleet or snow with a high concentration of acid •burning fuels •high acidity level In oxygen
300
what is the freezing and thawing of ice that can pry apart rock
What is ice wedging
400
what is the difference between chemical and mechanical weathering.
mechanical is more of physical weathering chemical weathering is caused by a chemical reatcion
400
define erosion
the transport of weathered rock
400
what is special about chemical weathering
chemical weathering weathers rock sing a chemical reaction
400
what animal(s) that can cause weathering
ANY ANIMAL
500
what are water wind gravity plants ice
What is the agents of erosion
500
Define deposition
The depositing of rocks/materials in different spots
500
What agent of erosion is located in the artic tundras
Glaciers
500
what does water do to rocks in chemical weathering
it dissolves the rock overtime
500
what do animals and plants have to do with mechanical weathering
plants can split rocks in half with their roots and animals can burrow deep into the ground and move rocks all over the place
