Name Period. Date. Erosion and Deposition Notes SES, Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed. 4d, Describe processes that change rocks and the surface of the earth. Leaming Target: I can tell about fore pressure, change, Erosion is the of rock particles from a location. ‘Typically caused by : oF ‘Water Erosion Water sources such as rivers, streams, ocean tides, and run off can move rock particles away. . water is one of the most powerful agents of erosion. + Erosion by water can have. results. + Rill erosion develops when water cuts small channels into the side of a slope. Erosion by Water: Rivers + Rivers and streams carry. As the sediment moves mechanical occurs. + Through water erosion, rivers create , flood plains, and valleys. Erosion by Water: Waves Waves- waves the coasts by transporting sand. While the sand is moved, ‘weathering occurs Waves create sea __, caves, arch, and wave-cut cliffs. a “ age a= =e a - ei Erosion by Water: Run-Off * As water from precipitation (rain, snow, etc.) moves over the land, it carries particles with it. The moving water is called © Runoff creates rills and Wind Erosion Wind creates dust storms, hoodoos, and arches Ice Erosion (Glacier Erosion) Asaglacier over the land, it picks up rocks in a process called Ice erosion creates: U-shaped , glacial lakes, moraines, drumlins, and kettle lakes Erosion by Gravity . causes sediment to move downhill © Itcreates: , mudflows, and creeps Weathering and Erosion work together continuously to wear down and carry away the rocks at the Earth’s surfacel!!!! Deposition + Deposition is the process in which laid down in locations. + Caused by water, | Deposition Creates Sand Waves and Rivers Ice | Moraine Gravity | Landslides, Choose between E and A 1. Where a cut bank forms 2. Where water flows fastest 3. Where water flows slowest 4. Where erosion takes place 5. Where deposition takes place Explain your choice for two of the question
