Erosion and Deposition

Construction

Volcanoes

Hurricanes

Earthquakes

The constructive process that builds up rocks and materials

The destructive process that breaks down rocks and materials

The process of transporting sediments to different locations

The biological process that creates new ecosystems

Water

Wind

Sunlight

Ice

Formation of mountains

Creation of different landforms and rock formations

Purification of water sources

Development of new species of plants

Erosion and Deposition

Mechanical and Chemical

Biological and Geological

Acidic and Basic

Because they are more abundant in nature

Because they are harder and denser

Because they are resistant to weathering

Because they are found deeper in the earth's crust

They increase erosion

They have no effect on erosion

They slow down erosion

They cause volcanic eruptions

Mixing different materials together

Separating materials based on color

Separating eroded materials into groups according to properties

Combining materials into a single group

Sediments that are all about the same size

Sediments that have a small range in sizes

Sediments that have a wide range of sizes and are often transported quickly

Sediments that are always found at the edges of glaciers

During a volcanic eruption

When sediment has been moved by glaciers

When sediment has been transported quickly

When sediment has been moved by water or wind over a long period
