Deposition - laying down of sediment that could have been transported by wind, water, or ice Process of erosion stops when the transported particles fall out of the transporting medium and settle on a surface Ability to carry material depends on an a balance of forces within the transporting me...
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...
Processes That Occur During Soil Formation Soil forms over thousands of years as a result of weathering. Involves the vertical movement of dissolved material up and down through the horizons. How Materials Move Through Soil Materials move both up and down as carried by water, animals and gravity ...

Weathering and Erosion Weathering changes the surface of the Earth over time. Physical Weathering Process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by external conditions. Types of Physical weathering Frost heaving and Frost wedging Plant roots Friction and impact Burrowing of animals Temperatur...

A. Gravity erosion changed the soil color B. Chemicals from plant roots changed the color C. The iron in the soil reacted with air to form rust D. Nothing caused it. The soil has always been red 8. The weathering process in which rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces and with...
