Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
Name one example of erosion.
What is landslides, sand dunes, or water erosion.
The substance released when two plates are pushed away from each other.
What is magma.
What is past climates, conditions, and plant lives.
The amount of time tectonic plate movements occurs over (either short term or long term).
What is long term.
The size of rapid landslides (either large scale or small scale).
What is small scale.
Name the two different types of weathering.
What is mechanical and chemical weathering.
The layer under the surface where tectonic plates are divided.
What is the lithosphere.
The type of rock containing fossils.
What are earthquakes.
The size of the rock cycle (either large scale or small scale).
What is large scale.
The three things that contribute to weathering.
What is wind, water, and ice.
The result when tectonic plates move further away from each other, releasing new magma.
What is new sea floor.
The age comparison between the deepest rock layers and highest rock layers.
What is the deepest rock layers are older and the higher ones are younger.
The long term process that has multiple types.
What is weathering.
The large scale process that can create new land and natural disasters.
What is tectonic plate movements.
The liquid/substance that is used in chemical weathering to break down rocks.
What is acidic groundwater.
The direction in which a transvergent boundaries move.
What is they slide past eachother.
The product coming from big ice blocks and glaciers from millions of years ago, telling us information about the Earth before.
What are ice cores.
The definition of both long and short term processes.
What is long term processes are processes that take place over long periods of time.
What is short term processes take place over short periods of time.
The definition of both small and large scale processes.
What is small scale processes impact a smaller area of the world.
What is large scale processes impact a bigger area of the world.
The relationship between weathering, erosion, and deposition.
What is weathering breaks down rocks, erosion carries the sediment, and deposition builds up the sediment.
The three different types of plate tectonics boundaries.
What are divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries.
The age of the oldest fossils.
What is 3.5 billion years old.
Name two different processes, one long term and one short term.
1. (For long term) What is weathering, erosion, deposition, plate tectonics, or the rock cycle.
2. (For short term) What is earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, tsunamis, or freeze thaw weathering.
Name two different processes, one large scale and one small scale.
1. (For large scale) What is earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, weathering, erosion, deposition, or glaciation.
2. (For small scale) What is weathering, erosion, deposition, landslides, or sand dune formation.
