• The wearing/breaking down of rocks

• The movement of rocks

Multiple Choice

What is deposition?

• The dropping of rocks

• The wearing/breaking down of rocks

• The movement of rocks

Multiple Choice

• The wearing/breaking down of rocks

• The movement of rocks

Multiple Select

Which of the following are examples of glacial erosion? (3)

• Freeze-thaw weathering

• Corrie

• Abrasion

• Plucking

• Rotational slip

Multiple Choice

Freeze-thaw weathering is......

• Ground is uneven, rocks carried by glacier move over ground and make it smooth

• Ice freezes around rock, glacier moves and plucks rock, rocks moves with the glacier

• Water fills cracks in the rock, it freezes and expands overnight, cracks get bigger and over time the rock breaks off

Multiple Choice

Plucking is........

• Ground is uneven, rocks carried by glacier move over ground and make it smooth

• Ice freezes around rock, glacier moves and plucks rock, rocks moves with the glacier

• Water fills cracks in the rock, it freezes and expands overnight, cracks get bigger and over time the rock breaks off

Multiple Choice
