    Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces over time through exposure to elements like water, wind, ice and chemicals in the soil. Erosion is the movement or removal of these weathered rocks and particles from one location to another by forces like water, wind, ice or gravity. Deposition occurs when eroded materials are deposited in a new location, building up landforms through processes like river deposition creating deltas or wind deposition forming sand dunes. Together, the continuous cycles of weathering, erosion and deposition shape the Earth's surface over thousands and millions of years.

    Topic: Weathering, Erosion , &

    Deposition

    EQ: How is the surface of the earth worn down and built up
    over time?

    Topic:
    Weathering, Erosion, &
    Deposition

    Essential Question:

    How is the surface of the earth


    worn down and built up over time?

    What is Weathering?
    Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into
    particles and sediment over time.

    What is Weathering?
    Weathering: Rocks are broken down over time by
    exposure to natural chemicals, freezing, thawing, falling and
    breaking, wind, and water.
    As they break down their pieces get smaller and smaller.

    What is Erosion?
    Erosion is the removal of rock
    particles from a location.

    Whats the difference between


    Weathering and Erosion?
    Weathering:

    Erosion:

    The break down


    of rocks into
    smaller and
    smaller pieces
    over time

    the removal of
    rock particles from
    a location

    What causes weathering &


    erosion?
    water, wind, ice, or gravity cause both
    weathering & erosion.

    Notes:
    Weathering rocks breaking down over
    time
    Erosion the removal of rocks or
    sediments to another location
    Caused by:
    Water
    Wind
    Ice
    Gravity

    DISCUSS with your table:


    What is the connection between
    weathering and erosion??
    Why did we learn weathering first??
    How does this affect the Earth? Us?

    WHAT IS WATER EROSION?


    Water sources such as rivers, streams,
    ocean tides, and runoff can move rock
    particles away....

    How do rivers cause erosion?


    Rivers and streams carry sediment. As the
    sediment moves mechanical weathering
    occurs.
    Through water erosion, rivers create
    waterfalls, flood plains, and valleys.

    Canyon

    River Valley

    Waterfalls

    How do waves cause erosion?


    Waves shape the coasts by transporting sand.
    While the sand is moved, mechanical
    weathering occurs.

    Beach Erosion

    Beach Recovery & Erosion Prevention

    How do waves cause erosion?


    Waves can also
    create sea
    stacks, caves,
    arches, and
    wave-cut
    cliffs.
    This occurs
    when waves
    pound away at
    cliffs and rocks
    over time

    How do waves cause erosion?

    How do waves cause erosion?

    How does runoff cause erosion?


    As water from precipitation (rain, snow, etc.)
    moves over the land, it carries particles with it.
    The moving water is called runoff.

    How does runoff cause erosion?


    Runoff creates rills and
    gullies.

    Notes:
    Water Erosion
    Includes:
    1. Rivers & streams
    2. Ocean tides & waves
    3. Surface runoff

    Notes:
    1. Rivers & Streams
    Rivers & streams carry sediment
    (particles like sand, silt and clay)
    River erosion can create
    Waterfalls
    Floodplains
    valleys

    Notes:
    2. Ocean Tides & Waves
    Waves transport sand
    Waves carve out sea stacks,
    caves, arches, & cliffs

    Notes:
    3. Surface Runoff
    Runoff occurs when water
    moves over the earths surface
    Water from precipitation
    (rain, snow, etc.) carries
    particles

    How does the wind cause


    erosion?
    Sometimes the wind can move rock
    particles away: this can lead to dust
    storms!

    Wind erosion:
    Wind Erosion creates
    dust storms, hoodoos,
    and arches.

    Wind erosion:
    Hoodoos

    Wind erosion:
    Arches

    Notes:
    Wind Erosion
    Wind transports particles
    Wind erosion creates:
    - Dust storms
    - Hoodoos
    - Arches

    How does ice cause erosion?


    Glaciers are ice sheets that can grow and melt
    over long periods of time.

    When snow piles up in an


    area and does not melt, it
    gets compacted and turns to
    ice.
    Over time this can create
    giant ice sheets called

    glaciers (glay-shurz)

    How does ice cause erosion?


    Glaciers are ice
    sheets that can grow
    and melt over long
    periods of time.
    These processes
    cause glaciers to
    move across the
    landscape,
    transforming it as it
    moves.

    How does ice cause erosion?


    As a glacier flows
    over the land, it
    picks up rocks in a
    process called
    plucking.

    Ice Erosion Continued:


    Ice erosion
    creates: Ushaped
    valleys,
    glacial
    lakes,
    moraines,
    drumlins,
    and kettle
    lakes.

    Glacial Lakes

    Ice Erosion Continued:

    Moraines

    Kettle Lakes

    Ice Erosion Continued:

    Drumlins

    Notes:
    Ice Erosion
    Glaciers (ice sheets) move
    slowly, carving out the earth
    Ice erosion creates:
    - U-Shaped valleys
    - Glacial & kettle lakes
    - Moraines & drumlins

    Think about it.


    Water is NEEDED by all living things to
    survive.
    How does water change the planet?

    How does Gravity cause erosion?


    Gravity
    causes
    sediment to
    move
    downhill.
    It creates:
    landslides,
    mudflows,
    and creeps.

    How does Gravity cause erosion?

    How does Gravity cause erosion?


    Slump

    How does Gravity cause erosion?


    Creep

    Notes:
    Gravity Erosion
    Gravity pulls sediment downhill
    Gravity erosion creates:
    - Landslides
    - Mudslides
    - Creeps

    Main idea: Weathering and


    Erosion work together
    continuously to wear down and
    carry away the rocks at the Earths
    surface!

    END - Erosion

    What is Deposition?
    Deposition is the process in which
    sediment is laid down in new
    locations.

    What causes Deposition?


    Caused by water, wind, ice, and
    gravity.

    Think about it
    What needs to happen before deposition
    can occur?
    Why are we studying deposition last in our
    weather, erosion, & deposition unit?
