Weathering and Erosion

Mechanical and chemical processes that breakdown Earth's surface

• Weathering
• Erosion
• Deposition
• Delta

moving weathered material (sediment)

• Weathering
• Erosion

• Deposition
• Delta

Material from broken down rocks

• Sediment
• Mass wasting
• Deposition
• Delta

Breaking down rock mechanically

• mechanical weathering

When will Earth's surface be done changing?

• It will never stop
• Earth's surface does not change
• It will stop after 5 billion years
• We cannot make a good estimate
