L4: Changes to Landforms

Erosion moves weathered pieces of rocks, minerals or soil to a new location using natural things like ice, wind, water, and living organisms.

• Glaciation

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Mining

The process of eroded soil and rock being transported by wind, water, ice or gravity and deposited in their new location

• Glaciation

• Deposition

• Land Reclamation

• Weathering

The process of landforms becoming covered by glaciers or ice sheets. As glaciers move they change the land beneath them

• Glaciation

• Deposition

• Land Reclamation

• Weathering

Some mines are dug underground, while others dig out the resources, and are left open

• Glaciation

• Deposition

• Mining

• Weathering

Land reclamation creates new land in large bodies of water (oceans, rivers or lakes).

• Land reclamation

• Deposition

• Mining

• Weathering

These moving plates can collide and/or rub together which results in landform creation or changes

• Land reclamation

• Tectonic Forces

• Mining

• Weathering

The natural process that breaks down rocks, soil and minerals into smaller parts.
