Weathering
The Breakdown of rocks?
What is Weathering
The number one agent of erosion
What is water?
Volcanoes change Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is quickly?
The difference between weathering and erosion is: a. weathering causes a quick change in landforms and erosion causes a slow change in landforms. b. weathering breaks rocks into sediments and erosion moves sediment from one place to another.
What is weathering breaks rocks into sediments and erosion moves sediment from one place to another?
Or What is B?
Small pieces that break off of rocks.
What is Sediments?
Disintegration of rocks into smaller pieces of the same stuff
What is Mechanical Weathering?
This type of erosion is common in a hot, dry climate
What is wind erosion?
Weathering changes Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is slowly?
The difference between erosion and deposition is: a. erosion moves sediment from one place to another and deposition is a physical feature on the Earth. b. deposition is the process of dropping , or depositing , sediment in a new location and erosion is the process of moving sediment from one place to another.
What is deposition is the process of dropping , or depositing , sediment in a new location and erosion is the process of moving sediment from one place to another?
What is B?
Gigantic formations of ice that do not completely melt over the course of a year.
What is glaciers?
Decomposition of rocks into different substances
What is Chemical Weathering?
The primary force behind all mass movements
What is gravity?
Erosion can change the shape of the land faster than a volcano can. True or False.
What is False?
Name a difference between weathering and erosion.
What is weathering makes things smaller, and erosion moves it?
Nonliving, solid material that are formed in nature and made of crystals.
What are minerals?
When Oxygen reacts withs minerals changing into iron oxide
What is Oxidation?
What are valley glaciers?
Water can weather rock by: A. eroding soil B. by freezing and melting
What is freezing and melting
The difference between a moraine and a dune is: A. Moraines are leftover from glaciers when they melt and dunes are left over from rivers when they dry up. B. Moraines are leftover from glaciers when they melt and dunes are formed when sand is blown away and deposited elsewhere.
What is moraines are leftover from glaciers when they melt and dunes are formed when sand is blown away and deposited elsewhere.
What is B?
The sudden movement of rocks and soil down the side of a hill because of gravity and rain.
What is landslide?
When rocks peel off their outer layers because of pressure unloading
What is exfoliation?
This provides the energy for rivers and glaciers
What is the sun?
Landslides are quick changes to the land. They can be caused by: A. magma and rain B. gravity and rain
What is gravity and rain
The difference between physical and chemical weathering is: A. Physical weathering just breaks things apart and chemical weathering changes the rocks forever. B. Physical weathering breaks things apart and chemical weathering burns rocks with chemicals.
Physical weathering just breaks things apart and chemical weathering changes the rocks forever.
What is A?
Huge sheets of ice that move slowly over land.
What are glaciers?
