Title: Weathering


1
Weathering Erosion
2
Blue foldable
  • Outside Weathering
  • Inside The break down of rock into smaller and
    smaller pieces
  • Forms sediment
  • Happens to rocks that are not moving

3
Blue Two Flaps
  • Chemical
  • Mechanical or physical

4
Blue flap Mechanical or Physical Weathering
  • Inside
  • Breakdown of rock by physical means
  • Just changes the look of the rock

5
Blue flap Chemical Weathering
  • Inside
  • Breakdown of rock by chemical means
  • Forms a new substance

6
Green foldable
  • Outside Agents of Mechanical Weathering
  • Inside on flaps
  • Ice
  • Wind
  • Water
  • Gravity
  • Plants
  • Animals

7
On inside of Agents of weathering foldable
  • Abrasion rocks grind against each other and wear
    away their surface
  • Rocks rub together in streams
  • Chalk on chalkboard

8
  • Ice
  • inside Ice wedging water freezes in cracks.
    When it expands, the crack gets bigger.
  • Wind
  • Inside wind forces rocks into each other
  • Water
  • Inside rivers and streams roll rocks into each
    other

9
  • Gravity
  • Inside gravity pulls rocks down into each other
  • Ex rock slide
  • Plants
  • Inside roots break apart rock
  • Animals
  • Inside Animals that dig break apart rocks

10
Pink foldable
  • Outside Agents of Chemical Weathering
  • Inside on flaps
  • Water
  • Acid rain
  • Lichens
  • Air

11
  • Water
  • Inside water can eat away certain types of rocks
    minerals
  • Acid rain
  • Inside acids in rain causes rocks to change
  • Lichens
  • Inside plants that give off acid eat away
    rocks
  • Air
  • Inside air causes oxidation
  • Oxidation oxygen in air react with another
    element to form an oxide
  • Creates rust

12
Gold foldable
  • Outside Differential weathering
  • Inside Process where softer, less weather
    resistant rocks wears away leaving harder rock
    behind.

13
Yellow Foldable
  • Outside 4 things that affect the rate of
    weathering
  • Inside on flaps
  • Hardness of rock
  • Surface area exposed
  • Climate
  • Elevation

14
  • Hardness of rock
  • Inside harder rocks weather slower than soft
    rocks
  • Surface area exposed
  • Inside smaller rocks weather faster than larger
    rocks
  • Climate
  • Inside oxidation occurs more in warm, wet
    climates
  • Elevation
  • Inside rocks at higher elevations are exposed to
    more water and wind -gt more weathering
  • Steeper mountains cause more weathering

15
Purple Foldable
  • Outside on 1st flap Erosion
  • Inside the transport of sediments from one place
    to another
  • Outside on 2nd flap Deposition
  • -Inside when sediments are dropped off

16
White Foldable
  • Outside Agents of Erosion Deposition
  • On flaps
  • Water
  • Wind
  • Ice
  • Gravity

17
  • Water Inside moves sand small rocks and
    deposits them in a new location
  • WindInside moves sand and small rocks and
    deposits them in new locations
  • Ice Inside Ice moves sand and all kinds of
    rocks to new locations
  • GravityInside sediments move downhill

18
Salmon Foldable
  • Outside Landforms created by weathering,
    erosion, depositionInside labels - Green
    wind - Pink Gravity - Yellow Ice - Blue
    Waves

19
Landforms made by wind
  • Sand Dunes

20
  • Landforms made by Gravity
  • rock falls, landslides

21
  • Landforms made by Ice Glue in whole white
    picture

22
Landforms created by waves
  • Sea stack Sea arch

23
  • Beaches
  • Sandbars
  • Barrier spit

24
  • Sea cliff
  • Wave cut terrace

25
  • Headlands
