Draggable item		Corresponding Item
erosion		a type of mechanical weathering caused by scraping and scratching of rocks
sediment		changes to rocks and minerals on Earth due to chemical reactions
chemical weathering		weathering that occurs at different rates, producing an uneven surface in the rock layers
weathering		the process of sediment moving over Earth's surface due to wind, water, ice, gravity, etc...
differential weathering		the physical or chemical breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces on Earth's surface
deposition		solid material, moved by wind, water and other forces, that settles on land or the bottom of a body of water
abrasion		occurs when eroded sediments are dropped in another location, ending the process of erosion
suspension		a mixture of moderate sized particles which float (are suspended) in liquid or gas due to buoyancy.

What is detritus?

1

This is an example of a sedimentary _______ .

1

A prerequisite to erosion is _______ .

1

What is the relationship between weathering and erosion.

1

Rivers carry their bed load by what three processes?

1

__________ occurs when water does not have enough energy to pick up the sediment grains. Instead, the water slides and rolls the sediment particles along the riverbed.

1

__________occurs when the speed of the water is fast enough to pick up sediment grains and transport them for long distances.

1

__________occurs when water has only enough energy to pick up sediment grains and transport them short distances.

1

__________involves building walls and other hard structures along a coast.

1

__________is the process of replacing eroded sand with new sand from other locations.

1

__________involves adding plants and other organic substances to an eroded shoreline.

1

__________such as groins, stick out from the shore.
