Erosion Water erosion Wind erosion Glacial Erosion As water flows across the surface of Earth, it wears away and picks up loose particles and deposits them elsewhere. Glacial Erosion As Glacial ice slides down the mountain side it scrapes away(plucking) pieces of the surface and deposits them at...
Rocks, Weathering, and Soil Information The Effects of Weathering All exposed rock is in the path of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the process that breaks down rock and other substances at the Earth’s surface. Heat, cold, water, ice, carbon dioxide, oxygen etc.. all contribute to ...

WEATHERING, EROSION, DEPOSITION Weathering: The Breaking down of rocks Erosion: The carrying away of rocks. Caused by water and wind. Deposition: The final resting place of rocks. (think of a deposit at the bank, it stays there…usually)....
High Elevation Has high winds and temperature extremes. Exposed to large amounts of precipitation. Cause rocks to weather fast. Steep Slope Increase the speed of water running downhill. Has more energy to break down rock. Biological Factors Organisms can produce acid in soil that speeds chemical...
