Landscapes of the UK (Part 1)

What is erosion?

• The downslope movement of material due to gravity

• The break down of rocks where they are found

• The wearing away of materials by a moving force i.e. water

• The movement of material along the coast by waves or along a river bed by the river.

What is weathering?

What is biological weathering?

• The weakening of rocks by the physical actions of wind, rain and frost.

• When minerals can react chemically which weakens them.

• When rock and land is broken down by living organisms; plants and animals.

What is deposition?

• When material is carried by water

• When material is dropped due to a lack of energy

• When material is worn away

• When material is broken down by a moving force
