• Erosion and deposition

• Abrasion and Impact

• waves and animals

What are the steps in forming a waterfall?

• When hard rocks erode due to fast-moving water

• when hard rock erodes faster than soft rock

• when soft rock erodes away causing the hard rock to break

• by glaciers moving through the river

How is the river different from the lake?

• The small lake to the side is a meander that was cut off of an oxbow lake.

• The small lake is a delta that was cut off of the meandering river.

• The small lake is an oxbow lake that was cut off of a meandering river.

• They are not different.

What is the difference between erosion and deposition?

• Erosion drops sediment off and erosion moves the sediment

• Deposition drops sediment off and erosion moves the sediment.

• Erosion is the physical breakdown of rock and deposition is the dropping off of the rock.

• Deposition is the breaking down of rock and erosion is the moving of sediment.
