Weathering Erosion and Deposition (WED)
Weathering
weathering ndash the breaking down of rock into smaller pieces (sediment) usually by wind water or ice
Weathering is a destructive force
Weathering happens slowly
Agents of Weathering
bull Wind bull Water bull Ice (Glaciers) bull Biological (Plant RootsAnimal) bull Temperature Change bull Chemical (Acid)
Erosion
erosion ndash the movement of weathered rock (sediment) by wind water ice or gravity
Erosion is a destructive force
(Weathering is also a destructive force)
Erosion can happen slowly or quickly
Agents of Erosion
bullWater
bull Ice (Glaciers)
bullWind
bullGravity
Fast Erosion Examples
Slow Erosion Examples
Deposition
deposition ndash the process by which weathered rock particles soil particles organic particles or dissolved mineral particles are dropped or deposited from erosion in a new location
Deposition is a constructive force
Deposition can happen slowly or quickly
Agents of Deposition
bullGravity
bullWhen Erosion Stops
Fast Deposition
bull Landslides
bull Mudslides
bull Floods
bull Monsoons
bull Volcanoes
Slow Deposition
bull Deltas
bull Meandering rivers
bull Sand dunes
