water cuts through a mountain, forming a canyon
Weathering
Oops!
Okay!
young rivers at the top of mountains carry rocks and sediment downstream
Erosion
Oops!
Okay!
Heavy rains move rocks and sediments from a hillside
Erosion
Oops!
Okay!
a sandstorm creates sand dunes on the beach
Deposition
Oops!
Okay!
Explain how a Glacier is an example of ALL THREE!
weathering-original mountain is carved away, erosion-movement of rocks and boulders; deposition: the rocks end up in a new place
Oops!
Okay!
slow-moving rivers drop off sediments, creating salt marches and swamps
Deposition
Oops!
Okay!
Wind moves sand and sediments in a severe dust storm
Erosion
Oops!
Okay!
a slow-moving river drops off sediments at the mouth of a river, creating a delta
Deposition
Oops!
Okay!
Sand fences help sand dunes grow bigger, helping to prevent erosion.
Deposition
Oops!
Okay!
As a river slows down, it drops off rocks and sediments along the riverbank.
Deposition
Oops!
Okay!
A plant's roots grow into a sidewalk, causing the sidewalk to crack and break apart
Weathering
Oops!
Okay!
a glacier moves through a mountain range, moving large pieces of rock and carving out part of the mountain
Erosion
Oops!
Okay!
a mudslide moves rocks, plants, and sediments from the top of a mountain. (Bonus if you can you explain how it could be all THREE?
Erosion
Oops!
Okay!
when Mt. St. Helens erupted, the peak of the mountain broke off
Weathering
Oops!
Okay!
a landslide quickly moves loose dirt and plants down a mountainside or hillside
Erosion
Oops!
Okay!
The roots from plants keep soil in place and help prevent it from washing away. (Which agent does it help prevent?)
erosion
Oops!
Okay!
Water freezes in the cracks of a boulder, breaking the crack open even further
Weathering
Oops!
Okay!
A glacier melts and drops off sediments as it moves along its path
Deposition
Oops!
Okay!
crashing waves break off rocks on a cliff at Cape Cod
Weathering
Oops!
Okay!
Waves drop sand, creating sandbars in the middle of the ocean
Deposition
Oops!
Okay!
Erupting volcanoes in the ocean create new islands when the lava cools
Deposition
Oops!
Okay!
Limestone rock is chemically dissolved to form a cave.
Weathering
Oops!
Okay!
a flood breaks off large rocks from the banks of a river
