Name the two types of weathering.
Chemical weathering, and Mechanical weathering
What are the agents/attributes of erosion?
Water, wind, and ice.
What is deposition?
The placement of sediments.
What is weathering?
The breaking of rocks.
What does weathering do?
Breaks down rocks into sediments.
What does erosion do?
Erosion moves the sediments that weathering created.
What does deposition do?
It places sediments in different areas.
What is erosion?
The movement of sediments.
What are the some of the agents that make up weathering? (example: Ice)
Ice, water, wind
What are formations made by erosion?
Sinkholes, caves.
What formations are made by deposition?
Beaches, deltas, and sand dunes
What is deposition?
The placement of sediments.
How is weathering different from erosion?
Weathering breaks rocks and erosion moves them.
What is the cause of soil erosion?
Strong winds, hard rains, and flowing water
What happens before deposition?
Erosion.
What type of rock does deposition?
Sedimentary rock.
Is acid rain a type of weathering?
Yes.
What does erosion come after?
Weathering.
What are the agents/attributes of deposition?
Gravity, ice, water, and wind
What breaks down rocks?
Weathering.
