Weathering Erosion Deposition

What are the two types of weathering?

• oxidation and abrasion

• physical and chemical weathering

• animals burrowing and plant roots breaking apart rocks

The geological process when rocks or sediments move or are transported from one place to another is:

• weathering

• erosion

• deposition

What is deposition?

• When sediment is transported from one place to another

• When eroded materials are dropped or laid down.

• when sediment or rocks are broken down

• when rocks react with oxygen and water

What geologic process is happening to the rock in this picture?

• The rock is being physically weathered by the tree roots

• The rock is being chemically weathered by the tree roots

• The rock is being eroded by the tree roots

• The rock is being deposited by the tree roots

What geologic process happens when a delta forms as a river is emptied into the ocean?

• the sediment's composition is being changed by oxidation

• the sediment is being eroded by the river and deposited into the ocean

• the sediment has experienced frost wedging

What is sediment?

• occurs when the eroded materials are dropped or laid down

• fragments of weathering rocks

• the process by which rock materials are broken down by the action of physical and chemical process

• the process by which wind, water, ice or gravity transport weathered materials from one location to another
