We are studying the slow changes to the Earth's surface. These processes include weathering, erosion, and deposition.
Weathering is the process of natural forces breaking down rocks into smaller pieces. Some of the causes of weathering include: moving water, ice, wind, plant root growth, burrowing animals, and temperature changes.
Erosion is the process which the broken pieces are transported, or moved, from one place to another. Some of the causes of erosion include: moving water, wind, glaciers (ice), and gravity (avalanches).
Deposition is the process of moved particles being deposited, or dropped off, in a new location. This process creates new land forms such as flood plains, deltas, sand dunes, and beaches.
Although we talk about weathering, erosion, and deposition as three separate processes, they often occur together. Over time, rocks are generally broken into smaller pieces (weathering), carried downhill (erosion), and deposited in a new location (deposition).

DeleteHI
ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeletesoil erosion is the biggest problem and its increasing because of lack of information of farmers,
ReplyDeletewe have to get them knowledge about wind erosion, top soil erosion and other types of erosion
oooooooh i neaver new this. but i get it now! Erosion takes away the rocks by water, air/ gravity, and a few more ways! And weathering breaks the rocks and that is when erosion takes it away! I get it now!
ReplyDeleteand i watched the video about weathering and erosion to.
ReplyDeletebut i do not understand the document I have to write because if there any certain words that I need to put in the lines or on the lines because there is no word bar or anything because I don't know if I'm going to get it right or wrong I know I watch the video and I read all of this but there is no word bar for the document so I do not know if i will finish that because there is no word bar anything
