What is the difference between erosion and weathering.
Weathering is when rocks are broken down. Erosion is when rocks carried away to another location
Weathering is when rocks are carried away. Erosion is when rocks are broken down
Deposition =
Subtracting sediments from land mass
Adjusting the land masses location entirely from one site to another
Adding sediments to land mass
Years of erosion by water ice, and gravity will carry sediments where they are droped off or ___________
invested
divested
deposited
abrasion
Deposited sediments may form layers called _______
old form
Strata
Lafta
pre form
Where are the oldest layers of the strata?
the bottom layer, because that is what got deposited first long ago
the top layer, because that is what got deposited last long ago
Which is a strata?
Delta's are terrible places to farm because they are jagged and rough, as well as hard to get to
True
False
Sediments being carried away by a river is an example of ____________. Sediments that pile up around the rivers mouth and add land mass is called ___________
chemical weathering; mechanical weathering
erosion; deposition
weathering; erosion
adjustment; abatement
How are dunes formed
Weathering blows sand into a new area
Abrasion blows sand into a new area where the sand accumulates and adds to the land mass to form a dune.
Wind is an agent of erosion that carries sand particles. Sand is then deposited into a new area and it forms huge dunes
