Erosion – the process in which weathered particles are picked up and moved from one place to another.
Weathering and erosion are two very different processes that tend to act sequentially #21
Erosion • Erosion is the movement of rock particles #22
Erosion • Erosion transports weathered rock material #23
Erosion • Water, wind and ice are agents of erosion #24
Erosion • Water, wind and ice are agents of erosion #24
Deposition – the part of the erosion process in which sediment is placed in a new location
Deposition • Deposition occurs where the agents (forces) of erosion lay down sediment #25
Deposition • Dirt from mountain tops can be carried downhill to fill in valleys. This is called deposition #26
Deposition Example • Dirt from mountain tops can be carried downhill to fill in valleys.
Deposition Example • Area of the shoreline made up of material (usually sand) deposited by waves.
Mass Movement • Movement of rock, soil, or snow, down a slope.
#28 What are the three major ways in which erosion moved sediment? • water • wind • ice
Weathering and erosion wear down, and deposition fills in Earth’s surface #29 • delta

Rivers can carve a valley through rock with a river flowing through it while a glacier can carve a valley where only rocks remain. When the glacier retreats or melts it leaves behind a valley without water #31

If there is a deep valley without any water. How did it form? Possible? • glacier
Wind, water, and gravity all combine to move dirt around. Of the three, water is responsible for moving the most amount of soil #32
The agent of erosion that carries the largest rocks is glaciers #30
