What is Weathering?
What is the breaking down of material by chemical and physical processes.
What is erosion?
Erosion is the process by which sediment and other materials are moved from one place to another.
What is one form of wind deposition?
What are sand dunes.
Does soil help plants in any way?
Yes, they give plants nutrients.
How many questions are in this jeopardy about soil, deposition, erosion, and weathering?
25
Name all the agents of chemical weathering?(2 agents)DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!!
What is oxidation and acid precipitation.
What does erosion cause streams to do?
They cause streams to widen and deepen
What does deposition do to the environment?
It builds up things from sand ice or soil and will also take away sediment from the ground to build things.
Does the type of soil vary depending on your position?
Yes, it can be different colors and different thickness.
Do any of these ever relate during their process?
Yes, it is possible for them to interact in some way.
Name all the agents of physical weathering?(7 agents)
What is gravity, temperature change, pressure change, wind, water, plant and animal actions, and abrasion.
What kind of land forms does erosion create? (8 land forms) DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!
What are rivers, streams, waterfalls, flood plains, valleys, gullies, hoo doo's, and arches
What is the definition of deposition?
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.
How is soil formed?
soil is formed from the weathering of rocks. It is made up mainly of mineral particles, organic materials, air, water and living organisms
What is the answer to weathering for 500? (NO CHECKING)
What is gravity, temperature change, pressure change, wind, water, plant and animal actions, and abrasion.
