Regents Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition

The process that changes solid rock into sediments.

• Fracture

• Dissolution

• Weathering

• Erosion

Scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles during their transport by wind, glacier, waves, gravity, running water

• Sediment

• Frost wedging

• Erosion

• Abrasion

When a glacier moves, it picks up loose material and transports it to other places. This is -

• Erosion by wind

• Erosion by water

• Erosion by ice

• All of the above

Erosion is usually followed by-

• deposition

• weathering

• suspension

• saltation

When a rock expands causing it to break into flat sheets it is called...

• Dissolution

• Oxidation

• Frost Wedging

• Exfoliation

When water moves through a river it sometimes drops sediment to the bottom of the stream.

• Deposition by wind

• Weathering

• Deposition by ice

• Deposition by water
