a glacier moves through a mountain range, moving large pieces of rock and carving out part of the mountain
Erosion
a landslide quickly moves loose dirt and plants down a mountainside or hillside
Erosion
a sandstorm creates sand dunes on the beach
Deposition
Cooling lava from erupting volcanoes creates more land on the islands of Hawaii
Deposition
A glacier melts and drops off sediments as it moves along its path
Deposition
Explain how a Glacier is an example of ALL THREE!
weathering-original mountain is carved away, erosion-movement of rocks and boulders; deposition: the rocks end up in a new place
a flood breaks off large rocks from the banks of a river
Weathering
Heavy rains move rocks and sediments from a hillside
Erosion
Erupting volcanoes in the ocean create new islands when the lava cools
Deposition
a slow-moving river drops off sediments at the mouth of a river, creating a delta
Deposition
an earthquake breaks a large piece of rock off an embankment
Weathering
Wind moves sand and sediments in a severe dust storm
Erosion
water cuts through a mountain, forming a canyon
Weathering
crashing waves break off rocks on a cliff at Cape Cod
Weathering
young rivers at the top of mountains carry rocks and sediment downstream
Erosion
when Mt. St. Helens erupted, the peak of the mountain broke off
