EROSION (test review feb.24)

_____ is the wear and tear, or loss, of soil and other surface materials due to the action of water or wind.

• Erosion

• Sediment

• weathering

Erosion can be cause by wind, water, ice or plant

• True

• False

• Sometimes

All the Earth's Systems (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere) are not involved in erosion.

• False

• True

• Some of the systems

The ____ is erosion and the ____ is weathering.

• movement,

  breakage

• breakage,

  movement

• sedimente,

  movement

• movement,

  sediment

Erosion can be explain as:

The movement of weathering rocks and soil by natural forces.

• True

• False

The three types of erosion are:

• Biosphere (vegetation)

  erosion

• Hydrosphere (water)

  erosion

• Atmosphere (wind)

  erosion

• Weathering erosion

• Sediment

  erosion

Example of Erosion:

When roots penetrate and cracks in the rocks, break the rocks apart, and turn then into loose earth. That's how new soil is formed.

• Biosphere Erosion (Biological Erosion)

• Hydrosphere Erosion

• Atmosphere Erosion

Rill Erosion = water erosion that creates channels in ground

Sheet erosion are = type of erosion where water uniformly modifies the surface

• Hydrosphere Erosion

• Biosphere Erosion

• Geosphere Erosion

• Atmosphere Erosion

The round shape of river stone is the result of the action of water in constant motion.

• Hydrosphere Erosion

• Atmosphere Erosion

• Biosphere Erosion

Water is the universal solvent; is a powerful erosive agent.

Universal solvent is defined as.....

• True;

  a liquid capable of separating particles or molecules from practically any solid, liquid or gas

• False;

  the universal solvent is the air

• True;

  a solid capable of join particles or molecular from any liquid or gas.
