Module 8
2. Explain how the products of weathering are carried away by erosion and deposited
elsewhere;
3. Explain how rocks and soil move downslope due to the direct action of gravity.
Lesson Content:
Dynamic actions or events that occur at the Earth's surface due to application of natural forces
resulting from gravity, temperature changes, freezing and thawing, chemical reactions, seismic
shaking, and the agencies of wind and moving water, ice and snow.
Where and when a force exceeds the strength of the earth material, the material is changed by
deformation, translocation, or chemical reactions.
Geological processes may also be linked to interaction with the external environment (e.g.
impact cratering), and may vary in relative importance with time or at any point on the surface
of a planet

EROSION
- It is the process by which earth’s surface is worn away by wind, water, or ice.
- Process of erosion moves rock debris or soil from one place to another.
MASS WASTING
- This refers to the movement of large masses of materials down a slope or a steep sided
hill or mountain due to the pull of gravity.
These are:
• Falls
• Slides
• Creeps
• Flows.

1. Falls
- This type of mass wasting can involve a single rock or thousands of rocks. For a mass-
wasting event to be classified as a fall, it must travel at a high rate of speed down a very steep
slope

2. Creeps
In geology, slow downslope movement of particles that occurs on every slope covered with
loose, weathered material.

slope.

SLUMP
- A slump is a form of mass wasting that occurs when a coherent mass of loosely
consolidated materials or a rock layer moves a short distance down a slope. Movement is
characterized by sliding along a concave-upward or planar surface.

- It is the accumulation of materials such as soil, rock fragments and soil particles settling
on the ground.
