Weathering and Erosion Simulation

What materials are needed to set up the experiment demonstrated?

• A sheet pan, dry sand, a straw, and a watering can.

• A sheet pan, damp sand, a straw, ice cubes, a watering can, and a pitcher of water.

• A baking dish, wet soil, a spoon, and a cup of water.

• A plastic container, pebbles, a fan, and a spray bottle.

When water breaks down the sand river banks, what geological process is being demonstrated?

• Erosion

• Deposition

• Weathering

• Glacial movement

What is the primary action of erosion in geology?

• Breaking down rocks and soil.

• Carrying away broken pieces of rock and sand.

• Dropping sediment in a new location.

• Freezing water in cracks to expand rocks.

What happens during the process of deposition?

• Rocks are broken into smaller pieces.

• Sediment is moved from one place to another.

• Sediment is dropped and settles in a new location.

• Wind reshapes landforms.
