erosion & deposition
the movement of materials away from a place
what is erosion
what are three destructive earth forces
what are landslides, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc....
a mountain that has lava in it
volcano
what uses solar energy
what is solar panels, and cars
what helps conserve resources
recycling
process of laying down materials, such as rock and soil
what is deposition
what are two constructive earth forces
what are volcanoes, fault, etc...
a land form made when two plates collide
mountain
how to make biomass energy
wood
what often occurs before a tsunami
an earthquake
what category of erosion are rivers, rain, and glaciers in
what is water erosion
how does earth forces affect earths environment
it makes land forms and destroys them
what is a mountain with a flat top called
plateau
what provides geothermal energy
the heat produced from the center of the earth
how might trees on steep slopes prevent landslides
by the roots staying and holding the land in place
what causes erosion/deposition
what is wind, water, ice and gravity
what causes floods and hurricanes
rain
what is it called when two plates meet
fault
the steps to make hydroelectric energy
1. use a dam
2. the water flows through the pipes
3. the fans make electricity
why is wind erosion more likely to happen in dry areas.
in drier areas, particles move more easily
what can prevent erosion/deposition
a tree line, grass/plants ,and seawalls
how does glacier ice help form valleys
glaciers pull down gravity then that wears away and makes a u shape
what is the definition of a land form
a natural feature of the earth's surface.
what makes wind into energy
wind mills
what is the first step in the formation of a volcano
the plate below has to melt into magma
