anything that builds up something
what are the two types of weathering
physical weathering and chemical weathering
molly was outside and was by a lake and she saw little pieces of sediment being carried away. what process is occurring.
erosion
what landform is wind or water drop sand into a pile
dune
what is deposition

what is weathering
the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces called sediments
the three main causes of erosion
wind,water,ice
what is the name of the land form is a river that slows down and drops it's sediments at the mouth
delta
what is an example of deposition
must have something to do with dropping and building up
what is an example of weathering
must have something to do with breaking down rocks to be correct
the difference between erosion and weathering
weather is the process of breaking down rocks, while erosion is the process of carrying sediments
what landfom is ocean currents drop sand in long ridges offshore
islands
true or false deposition erosion can happen at the same time
true
true or false: weathering breaks down rocks
true
what stops erosion from occurring the most
A) wind B) water C) grass
C) grass
what is sinkhole
chemical weathering dissolves limestone, and water carries it away,
true or false: deposition moves sediments, while erosion builds up land
false
true or false weathering only occurs during polar temprate
false
