the process that breaks down rocks into smaller and smaller fragments.
Category 1 100
weathering
Category 1 200
Rocks break down into small pieces called
Category 1 200
sediments
Category 1 300
Plants and ice wedging are examples of which type of weathering?
Category 1 300
mechanical
Category 1 400
List one example of mechanical weathering
Category 1 400
Plant wedging
Ice wedging
Category 1 500
Oxidation is an example of which type of weathering?
Category 1 500
chemical
Category 2 100
How are canyons formed?
Category 2 100
By erosion
Category 2 200
How are alluvial fans and deltas similar?
Category 2 200
They are both fan shaped and made by stream erosion
Category 2 300
thick deposits of windblown fine sediment
Category 2 300
loess
Category 2 400
a large mass of moving ice that forms by the compacting of snow by natural forces.
Category 2 400
glacier
Category 2 500
• all of the materials carried and deposited by a glacier.
Category 2 500
Glacial drift
Category 3 100
Materials carried by a stream
Category 3 100
load
Category 3 200
The process in which eroded material is dropped
Category 3 200
deposition
Category 3 300
Creep, landslide, rock falls, and mud flows are all types of _________
Category 3 300
Mass movement
Category 3 400
The process of water freezing and thawing between cracks in pavement.
Category 3 400
Ice wedging
Category 3 500
reacts with minerals and dissolves main minerals such as limestone.
Category 3 500
Carbonic acid
Category 4 100
• occurs when a material such as iron is exposed to oxygen and water.
Category 4 100
• oxidation
Category 4 200
• Mechanical weathering is most common in what type of climate?
Category 4 200
• Cold climates
Category 4 300
• Chemical weathering is more common in what type of climate?
Category 4 300
• Warm, wet climate
Category 4 400
• the wearing away and removal of rock or sediment
Category 4 400
• erosion
• erosion of land by wind
Category 4 500
• deflation
Category 4 500
Category 5 100
• makes pits and rocks to produce smooth, polished surfaces
Category 5 100
• abrasion
Category 5 200
• wet sediment flows downhill over the ground surface.
Category 5 200
• mudflow
Category 5 300
• loose rock falls down steep slope
Category 5 300
• Rock fall
Category 5 400
• the way sediments slowly inch their way down a hill, common where freezing and thawing occur.
Category 5 400
• creep
Category 5 500
• sudden and rapid movement of a large amount of material downslope. Can carry away plants and animals.
•
Category 5 500
• Landslide
