Compare and contrast weathering and erosion

Weathering breaks down or chemically alters rocks, while erosion wears down and carries away rock and soil. Weathering contributes to erosion.

List at least five agents of erosion.

Back

The answer can be any five of the following:Wind, glaciers, gravity, groundwater, waves, streams, and weather

Back

Chemical weathering

Caves are formed by erosion from _____________groundwater

Describe three ways that wind erosion moves sediment.

Back

Fine Particles are suspended in the air and blown by the wind.

Larger particles bounce along the ground by saltation
