PPT-Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Sorting Game

Scenario 1 Flood water pounds against a canyon wall and wears it down Weathering Scenario 2 Rain washing soil away from a hillside Erosion Scenario 3 Layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean. Agents of Deposition. The agents of erosion are also agents of deposition.. Depositional rate depends on sediment size, shape and density.. Depositional rate also depends on characteristics of the depositional agent.. Bust a move!. What is Erosion?. Erosion is defined as removal of rocks and soil by wind, water, ice and gravity.. Wind, water, ice and gravity are also known as the agents of erosion.. Weathering vs. Erosion . Physical Weathering. Weathering. is the breakdown of rock or soil. . Physical . weathering occurs when natural forces, such as wind, running water, and moving ice, physically break up rock and soil into smaller particles. . Ms. Martel. Weathering. Weathering is the breakup of rock due to exposure to processes that occur at Earth’s surface.. Geologists group weathering processes under two headings, mechanical and chemical weathering. . Lesson 1. Water Erosion. How does Moving Water Cause Erosion?. Erosion is the process in which sediment that has been broken down through weathering is moved.. Agents of Erosion are:. Water. Wind. Glacial (ice). Weathering and Erosion. Table of Contents. Section 1 . Weathering Processes. Section 2 . Rates of Weathering. Section 3 . Soil. Section 4 . Erosion. Chapter. 14. Section 1 . Weathering Processes. What is Erosion?. Erosion is defined as removal of rocks and soil by wind, water, ice and gravity.. Wind, water, ice and gravity are also known as the agents of erosion.. Weathering vs. Erosion . Weathering involves two processes . Predict how weathering might reshape surface features (topography). Weathering and Erosion. The top part of the lithosphere—the earth’s surface—changes as rocks are broken down to smaller pieces and carried away.. Weathering. Notes. Weathering. - The surface processes that break down rock into small pieces called sediment. . Two Types of Weathering. MECHANICAL WEATHERING. – . . Physical. processes that break rock into fragments with the . , Erosion and Deposition. . How can wind and water change our landscapes?. . Weathering- the . destructive processes . by which materials at or near the Earth’s surface are changed in color, texture, composition, firmness or form. . Weathering. : the breaking up of rock into smaller pieces . Erosion. : the movement of sediment from place to place by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Deposition. : the re-depositing of sediments in a new location following erosion . weathering and erosion. The process of weathering and erosion are the main forces behind landscape types. . However, they are not the only reason for a plain, plateau, or a mountain region to form. . Chapters 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. SES3. Students will explore the actions of water, wind, ice, and gravity that create landforms and systems of landforms (landscapes). . a. . Describe how surface water and groundwater act as the major agents of physical and chemical weathering. . The. . Erosion-Deposition. . Process. Constructive vs. Destructive. Constructive process build up features on Earth’s surface. Lave erupting from a volcano hardens and forms new land on the area where lava falls..
