The breaking down of rock by natural processes is
weathering
erosion
deposition
sediments
The moving of sediments to another location is
weathering
erosion
deposition
sediments
The dropping off of sediment in new locations
weathering
erosion
deposition
sediments
The two types of weathering are
sediments and rocks
rocks and physical
chemical and rocks
physical and chemical
Ice, water, plants, and animals are all examples of which type of weathering?
Physical
Chemical
Sediments
Rocks
___________ weathering includes rust and cavern formation.
Physical
Chemical
Sediments
Mass wasting
One example of wind erosion is
glaciers moving rocks to other locations
when the wind blows sand and the dunes are constantly changing
when the tides pull the sand from the beach out into the ocean
when the wind blows leaves into a pile
Erosion from places with a high elevation to places with a low elevation is called
till
humus
moraine
mass wasting
Why is it important to conserve soil?
Soil cannot easily be replaced
Animals don't really need soil
Soil can be easily put back if it erodes away
Decayed plant and animal remains are
soil
humus
till
moraine
Weathered rock, air, water, and humus is
Soil
till
moraine
Erosion
How does weathering and erosion change the Earth's surface?
Wind and water can carve soft rock into different shapes
The convection currents in the mantle can cause the plates to move
Magma reaches the Earth's surface and creates new landforms
weathering and erosion don't change the surface of the Earth
A jumble of many sized pieces of sediment deposited by a glacier is called
Humus
Till
Moraine
Mass wasting
Sediment that forms in front of or on the side of a glacier is
Till
Moraine
Mass Wasting
Humus
Two major causes of erosion and deposition are
wind and animals
plants and water
wind and water
rust and wind

Soil that water passes through easily is
permeable
impermeable
Planting trees, rotating crops, and planting grass between fields are all things that can help ______________________
Air quality
To conserve soil
insects
to destroy soil
