weathering caused by moving water

weathering caused by plants

erosion caused by wind

erosion caused by gravity

Volcanic eruptions built up

Large rocks grew from the bottom of the ocean

The river deposited large amounts of sediment into a pile

Water evaporated and new land appears

The river froze during the winter

Rushing water weathered them

A glacier picked them up and moved them

Wind blew sand on them

rushing rivers

blowing winds

freezing water

weathering rock

Freezing and thawing temperatures break rocks

Gravity pulls apart larger boulders

Sand is carried away by strong waves and wind

Plants' roots grow through and move sediments
