What is the process of transporting sediments from location to another?

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Compaction

The process of breaking up Earth's surface into sediment is called...

• sediment
• erosion
• weathering
• deposition 

What is sediment?

• the process of rocks being broken down and carried away
• bits of rock, sand, and silt caused by the weathering of rocks
• the top layer of the soil
• decaying plant or animal material 

What happens when weathering and erosion work together?

• New Mountains are created
• The climate changes overnight
• Metal objects become rusty
• They change the Earth's surface

The diagrams  shows a natural process that weathers rock.
 Which statement best explains why this process results in weathering?

• frozen water acts as a solute
• water expands when it freezes
• the mass of water increases when it freezes
• frozen water dissolves most types of rock

How do plants weather rocks?

• during photosynthesis
• when roots grow into cracks of rocks and expand the rock
• when the plant moves water from the roots to the leaves
• Plants don't weather rocks

How does vegetation in the soil affect the rate of erosion?

• It doesn't affect erosion.
• It decreases erosion.
• It increases erosion.

Deltas are built up by -

• deposition
• leaching
• abrasion
• erosion
