What is weathering?

Back

Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through natural forces such as wind, water, and temperature changes.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

Erosion is the process by which weathered rock and soil are moved from one location to another, often by water, wind, or ice.

Front

What is deposition?

Back

Deposition is the process where sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or land mass, often after being transported by erosion.

Front

How do weathering and erosion work together?

Back

Weathering breaks down rocks, and erosion carries the broken pieces away, shaping the landscape.

Front

What role does water play in weathering and erosion?

Back

Water can cause weathering by breaking down rocks and can also cause erosion by transporting the broken materials.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process by which water vapor cools and changes into liquid water, forming clouds.

Front

What causes evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is caused by heat from the sun, which turns liquid water into water vapor.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth, including processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from clouds to the Earth's surface.

Front

How did the Grand Canyon form?

Back

The Grand Canyon was formed by the processes of weathering and erosion, primarily by the action of water over millions of years.
