EROSION surface and rock materials by wind water and other materials The normal rate of erosion can be quickened by mass wasting fluvial entrainment surface erosion freeze thaw movement. Bust a move!. What is Erosion?. Erosion is defined as removal of rocks and soil by wind, water, ice and gravity.. Wind, water, ice and gravity are also known as the agents of erosion.. Weathering vs. Erosion . Chapter 7 –Weathering and Erosion. Objectives:. Distinguish between weathering and erosion. Identify physical variables that cause mechanical weathering. Identify chemical variables that cause chemical weathering. Rose . AnnAgo. IV-6 . BEEd. WHITTLING . WIND . Bryce Canyon in Utah is a weathering wonder. Weathering and erosion have whittled away the rocks there for millions of years.. Today . huge hoodoos rise from the canyon floor. Hoodoos are rock pillars with shapes on their tops. They tower nearly 610 meters (2,000 feet) above the ground.. Physical Weathering. Weathering. is the breakdown of rock or soil. . Physical . weathering occurs when natural forces, such as wind, running water, and moving ice, physically break up rock and soil into smaller particles. . Chapter 7. Section 7.1 Weathering. Weathering is the process by which rocks on or near Earth’s surface break down and change. . Erosion is the removal and transport of weathered material from one location to another.. Weathering . Students will be able to describe and give examples of chemical and physical weathering.. . Weathering. The breakdown of materials on Earth’s crust into smaller pieces.. Two Types of Weathering. Scenario #1. Flood water pounds against a canyon wall and wears it down.. Weathering. Scenario #2. Rain washing soil away from a hillside. Erosion. Scenario #3. Layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean. another.. 2 . kinds:. 1) . Rill erosion. is the erosion by running water in small channels. , on the side of a slope.. 2) . Gully erosion. is when a rill channel evolves to become deep and wide.. Weathering and Erosion. Table of Contents. Section 1 . Weathering Processes. Section 2 . Rates of Weathering. Section 3 . Soil. Section 4 . Erosion. Chapter. 14. Section 1 . Weathering Processes. Predict how weathering might reshape surface features (topography). Weathering and Erosion. The top part of the lithosphere—the earth’s surface—changes as rocks are broken down to smaller pieces and carried away.. Weathering can be defined as any. chemical or mechanical process by which rocks exposed to weather undergo changes in character or are broken down into smaller pieces. .. Mechanical Weathering. Mechanical Weathering. The creation of sedimentary rocks. Weathering and Mass Movement. Objectives:. 1. Describe the processes by which erosion wears down and carries away rock. 2. Distinguish between chemical and mechanical weathering. weathering and erosion. The process of weathering and erosion are the main forces behind landscape types. . However, they are not the only reason for a plain, plateau, or a mountain region to form. . Chapters 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. SES3. Students will explore the actions of water, wind, ice, and gravity that create landforms and systems of landforms (landscapes). . a. . Describe how surface water and groundwater act as the major agents of physical and chemical weathering. .
