Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition | Baamboozle - Baamboozle

True or false: Deposition happens when sediment is dropped in a new location.

True

True or false: Erosion is the movement of sediment from one location to another.

True

True or false: Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks.

True

A fast-flowing river carries silt and sand downhill. Once the river hits flatter land it forms an alluvial fan.

deposition

A glacier transports rock and debris that build up to form a moraine.

deposition

A delta is formed at the mouth of a large river.

deposition

Wind carries sand and forms a sand dune.

deposition

Layers of sand form at the bottom of an ocean.

deposition

Ice melts in the crack of a large boulder and carries away loose sediment.

erosion

Dust and sand are blowing in the air during a wind storm.

erosion

The repeated motion of waves pick up loose sand from the beach.

erosion

Rock and debris from the side of a mountain are picked up by a moving glacier.

erosion

Sediment is picked up from the banks of a flowing river.

erosion

Loosened rock from icy temperatures is pulled down a mountainside by gravity.

erosion

Powerful waves crash into a rock with cracks. A layer of air gets trapped at the bottom of the crack. When the wave retreats, the air that was trapped is released with a powerful force and weakens the rock.

weathering

Due to rain, the paint on an outside bench begins to crack.

weathering

A rabbit burrows into the crack of a large rock and widens and splits the rock.

weathering

Limestone begins to soften because of acid rain.

weathering

The roots of a plant grow in the cracks of a sidewalk. As the root grows larger the cement begins to crack.

weathering

Water seeps into the cracks of a mountainside and freezes with cold temperatures. New and larger cracks develop.
