Rock fragmentsRock fragments
When rocks are transported by a river they are eroded:
When rocks are broken off they can form “scree
slopes”
Rock shape up here
Rock shape down here
“Sediment”

Erosion and weathering…Erosion and weathering…
EROSION is when rocks are gradually worn down.
WEATHERING is when rocks are broken up into smaller ones.
The ultimate result of both of these processes is SOIL.

Erosion Physical, chemical or biological?
Rocks bumping into each other while travelling down a stream
Tree roots pushing against the rock
Ice getting into cracks and expanding
Acid rain
Animals or plants digging into cracks
“Onion skin weathering”
