Weathering & Landform changes Dr. Charles Ophardt EDU 370 Erosion & Weathering Erosion involves the transportation - movement of weathered particles. Materials carried as solids called clastics Some ions in solution (chemical) are carried away from the weathering area. Weathering is the chemical alterat...
Weathering and Erosion Weathering is the chemical or physical breakdown of a rock or mineral due to exposure to the atmosphere. Erosion is the removal or transport of material by 5 possible agents: running water, glaciers, waves, wind, and gravity. Humans and animals may also play a part in...
Ice Erosion Glaciers What Is Glacial Erosion? Ice - moves and carries rocks, grinding the rocks beneath the glacier Glaciers pluck and abrade to cause erosion Plucking occurs when water enters cracks under the glacier, freezing, and breaking off pieces of rock that are then carried by the glaci...
