Weathering and Erosion
20
weathering:the breaking down of rock
erosion: the movement of rock by wind, water, ice and gravity.
mechanical: the rock is broken into smaller piecees but the chemical makeup isn't changed
ice wedging: when water seeps down into a crack of a rock then freezes
abrasion: the scraping away of rock
chemical: the type of weathering when the chemical weathering is changed
groundwater: water that soaks into the the ground and collects in the pores and empty spaces in rocks
oxidation: Oxygen in the atmosphere chemically reacts with minerals to form rust
acid rain: rain that is full of acid, formed by pollution, an example of chemical weathering
climate: the pattern of weather that occurs in a particular area over many years
channel: groove created by water moving down the same path
slump: when a mass of material slips down a curved surface
deposition: process of laying the weathered material down in a new location
mass movement: any type of erosion that happens as gravity moves materials downslope.
sinkhole: formed when a cavern loses its support and the ceiling caves in
creep: occurs when sediments slowly shift their position downhill
slump: when a mass of material slips down a curved surface
dune: a mound of sediment drifted by wind
bedrock: solid rock that lies beneath the soil
permeable: water can pass through open spaces
