Erosion!

Once a rock is weathered, it usually moves from one place to another.

This process is called erosion.

Page 2: Erosion! Once a rock is weathered, it usually moves from one place to another. This process is called erosion.

Erosion is caused by the following:

a. gravity

b. running water

c. glaciers

d. waves

e. wind

Page 3: Erosion! Once a rock is weathered, it usually moves from one place to another. This process is called erosion.

Gravity

This is the force that moves rocks and other materials downhill.

Gravity causes mass movement - when a WHOLE lot of materials move downhill at once.

Different types of mass movement include:

a. landslidesb. mudslidesc. slumpd. creep

Page 4: Erosion! Once a rock is weathered, it usually moves from one place to another. This process is called erosion.

Landslides

The most destructive kind of mass movementOccurs when rock and soil slide quickly down a steep slopeCommon where road builders have cut through hills or mountains.

Mudflows

Rapid downhill movement of mixture of water, rock, and soilOften occur after heavy rains in a normally dry areaCan be deadly!

Slump

mass of rock and soil suddenly slips down a slope in one large mass

Creepvery slow downhill movement of rock and soil. so slow you barely notice it.may tilt objects at spooky angles (like tombstones, fence posts)

Moving water is the major agent of the erosion that has shaped the Earth's surface.

There are several ways the water erodes material:

a. Gravity and rain b. Rivers

c. Groundwater

Page 14: Erosion! Once a rock is weathered, it usually moves from one place to another. This process is called erosion.

Gravity and Rain

Rain that doesn't soak into the ground, is runoffAs runoff travels across the ground, it forms tiny grooves in the soil called rillsRills flow into each other, growing larger and forming gulliesRills and gullies carry soil and rock away from an area.Gullies only flow after it rains.

Through erosion, a river creates:

a. valleysb. waterfallsc. flood plainsd. meanderse. oxbow lakes

When rain falls and snow melts, some of the water soaks into the ground

Causes erosion through chemical weathering

Water and carbon dioxide combine to from a weak acid that breaks down limestone

Over time, pockets are hollowed out underground and caves form.Karst topography

Waves

Water is an extremely strong force

As it continually pounds the land, it actually causes the rock and soil to break apart, then be carried away
