TCI 5th Science Unit 2 Lesson 3 Earth Systems + 2HP

Front

What is weathering?

Back

Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks through interactions between Earth’s systems.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from one location and transported to another.

Front

What is deposition?

Back

Deposition is the process where sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.

Front

What conditions help soil to form fastest?

Back

Soil forms fastest in wet and warm conditions.

Front

What is the least important feature when designing a model of a waterfall?

Back

The animals and plants at the bottom of the waterfall.

Front

What role does sediment play in a waterfall?

Back

Sediment can affect how a waterfall changes over time by altering the shape and flow of the water.

Front

What is the type of rock around a waterfall's rim important for?

Back

The type of rock around the rim affects the waterfall's stability and how it erodes over time.

Front

What are sediments?

Back

Sediments are small pieces of rock, soil, and organic material that can be transported by wind, water, or ice.

Front

How do wind and water contribute to weathering?

Back

Wind and water can break down rocks into smaller pieces through physical and chemical processes.

Front

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

Back

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, while erosion is the movement of those broken pieces.
