Weathering,Erosion,Deposition
18
Weathering: breaking down of rock
Mechanical Weathering: physical weathering
Ice Wedging: cracks expand 10%
Exfoliation: rocks break of into sheets
Thermal: repeated daily heating and cooling
Biotic: weathering caused by living organisms
Chemical Weathering: breakdown of rock due to a change in the chemical composition
Oxidation: oxygen combines with rocks
Carbonation: creates limestone caves
Erosion: movement of sediments
Wind Erosion: responsible for creating great deserts
Water Erosion: the most influential force in erosion
Wave Erosion: erodes the rocks on the beach into small sand particles
Gravitational Erosion: "mass movement"
Glacial Erosion: glaciers move and carry rock, grinding the rock beneath the glacier
Deposition: the laying down of sediments
Wind Deposition: wind can transport fine particles in suspension hundreds of km from its original source in the desert, and deposit them when the wind changes direction or loses strength
Water Deposition: sediments carried by running water are deposited where the slowing water
Ice Deposition: glacial flows of ice become slower when the ice begins melting. the _of these “ice rivers” look similar to normal river _ and are called “outwashes.”
