What statement best describes the relationship between gradient and a river's ability to erode?

• The gradient is the amount of water in the river.

• The gradient is the type of particles (boulders, pebbles, sand, etc) and gives the river more energy to erode.

• The gradient is the slope (steepness) of the river.

  The steeper the gradient and the greater the velocity of the water, the more it erodes.

• The gadient is the width of the channel of the river.

Pick two Answers! Which of the following images correctly describes

weathering and erosion?

• Diagram on the left shows weathering because the rock is being broken into smaller pieces.

• Diagram on the left shows erosion because the rock is being broken into smaller pieces.

• The diagram on the right shows erosion because the rocl is being broken into smaller pieces.

• The diagram on the right shows erosion because the weathered rock is now moving to a new location.

Why is weathering important for life?

• It breaks down rocks and minerals, which help create soil that is necessary for plant growth.

• So we can enjoy the weather.

• The environment can provide soil for plants with very little help from the weathering process.

• Plants need bad soil as well as good soil from the weathering process.

Why is erosion important to life?

• Erosion destroys things.

• It is not important

• Erosion makes things stay put.

• Erosion helps feed water sources with essential nutrients and cleanses soil of useless material such as a rotting tree.
