What are three types of physical weathering?
Gravity, wind, and water.

The Grand Canyon is an example of erosion by what?

Erosion by water.

100
Name three landforms.
Mountains, hills, canyons, valleys, bays, peninsulas, delta's, caves, buttes, etc.
100

What is the main source of deposition?

Flowing water

100

A large chunk of ice moving across the land is called a what?

Glacier

200
What is an example chemical weathering?
Acid
200
How is erosion different than weathering?
Weathering is the breaking down of rock, and erosion is the movement of rock and soil over Earth's surface.
200

TRUE or FALSE: Islands are created by erosion and deposition.

TRUE

200
True or False: Deposition contributes to the making of a cave.
False, Erosion, and Chemical weathering are major contributors.

How does water erode rocks?

Running water carries sediment from one place to another

300

What type of weathering creates rust, sinkholes, and caves.

What is chemical weathering?

300

Describe the process of erosion by water?

The process of sediment being moved by flowing/moving bodies of water.

300

What 3 processes create landforms?

Weathering, erosion, deposition

300
What relation does deposition have with erosion?
Eroded sediments are dropped, it ends the process of erosion.

How does the steepness of a slope affect the rate of erosion?

400
What is chemical weathering?
Disintegration of rocks from chemical reactions.
400
What is erosion by gravity?
Rocks on hillsides are loosened by weathering processes, and then gravity pulls the pieces downhill.
400

Very small bits of soil and rock that make up landforms are called what?

sediment

400
Does deposition tear down or build up Earth's surface?
Builds up. Deposited sediments add on to the the Earth 's surface.
400

What is the difference between chemical and physical weathering?

Chemical weathering involves a chemical change to a substance or rock and physical weathering is the physical breakdown of a rock by the action of temperature change, gravity and water.

500
What is physical weathering?
The breaking down of rock into smaller pieces by the action of wind, water, and temperature change.
500
What is erosion?
The process in which wind, water, ice or other things move pieces of rock and soil over Earth's surface.
500

What are landforms?

Naturally occurring features of the Earth's surface.

500
What is deposition?
Occurs when eroded sediments are dropped at another location.
500

How are weathering, erosion, deposition, and landforms connected?

Weathering, Erosion , and Deposition create a cycle that builds up and tears down Earth 's surface. Landforms are the outcome of the cycle.
