Weathering, Erosion and Deposition Mechanical Weathering

WEATHERING, EROSION AND DEPOSITION MECHANICAL WEATHERING Breaking of rock into smaller particles by physical means Worms Abrasion- running Abrasion- water Animals moving rock and sediments Ice Plants Wind CHEMICAL WEATHERING Chemical breaking of rocks and minerals into new substances Lichen Acid rain Ground Water Water Air (oxidation) MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL WEATHERING MASS MOVEMENT Movement of any material (rocks, soil, snow) down slope controlled by gravity Examples (Rapid mass movement) Rock slide landslide (Italy- notice the road) mudslide/landslide (Japan) Lahar (Japan) Examples (slow mass movement) Creep- an extremely slow movement of material AGENTS (FORCES) OF EROSION AND DEPOSITION CHANGING THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH Erosion – when materials (soil and sediment) are moved/transported from one area to another Deposition – when materials are dropped or deposited in another area from its original location Agents/Forces – Water, Wind, Ice, Gravity EROSION BY WIND DEPOSITION BY WIND EROSION BY WATER DEPOSITION BY WATER EROSION BY ICE LEFT SIDE SHOWS PERMAFROST W/ GLACIER RIGHT SIDE SHOW GLACIER MOVING CREATING VALLEY DEPOSITION BY ICE SAND LOOSE ROCK AND BIG ROCK CAME FROM THE SAME SOURCE… WHERE? EROSION BY GRAVITY HOW IS THE EARTH HEATED? Radiation is the primary Most energy in the way that air is heated. Troposhpere travels or Convection currents moves through move that heated air convection heated the air around the earth, and causing it to become less the difference between dense then rising, warm and cold air releasing energy and provide the energy becoming more dense needed to create sinking back down. weather.
