Erosion and weathering are similar because they both involve the breaking down of rocks. However, what is a key difference between the two?
Erosion involves movement, while weathering does not.
Weathering can only happen with water, while erosion does not need water.
Erosion happens only on the Earth's surface, while weathering happens below the surface.
Weathering is a man-made process, while erosion is natural.
What is the process called when water, wind, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another?
Weathering
Erosion
Deposition
Compaction
What type of weathering may have caused the landform in this picture?
ice wedging
animal actions
abrasion
release of pressure
Which type of rock is formed from the accumulation of sediment that is compacted and cemented together?
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Mineral
What process describes the transformation of one rock type to another over time, forming a cycle?
Erosion
Weathering
The Rock Cycle
Deposition
What is the process called when water, wind, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another?
Weathering
Erosion
Deposition
Compaction
What type of weathering may have caused the landform in this picture?
ice wedging

abrasion
release of pressure
What is a meander?
What are longshore current?
What are dunes?
The shaking from an earthquake can cause mass wasting.
A steep slope is more likely to experience mass wasting than a gentle slope.
The erosion caused by an alpine glacier produces a V-shaped valley.
A pile of angular rocks and sediment from a rockfall is Talus
True
False
Which situation helps reduce the chance of mass wasting?
Which type of mass wasting occurs most slowly?
Which landform is the result of glacial erosion?
The two types of glaciers are
The shaking from an earthquake can______________ cause to occur on hillsides.
