As wind carries sediment along, the sediment cuts and polishes exposed rock. This is called:

• wind erosion

• wind deposition

When wind slows down and drops the sediment it's carrying, it's called:

• wind erosion

• wind deposition

Match the following man-made examples to the type of weathering process they affect

• Water erosion

• Plowing a field and wind picking up the topsoil

• Mass wasting

• Cutting down trees

• Surface erosion

• Building a home on a steep hill
