Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Bellringer Where does sand come from? Many people find the sound of waves on a beach very relaxing and peaceful. However, each wave that comes ashore carries a certain amount of destructive force. Write a short poem about how ocean waves create sand from rock. Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Objectives Explain how energy from waves affects a shoreline. Identify six shoreline features created by wave erosion. Explain how wave deposits form beaches. Describe how sand moves along a beach. Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Wave Energy When waves crash into rocks over long periods of time, the rocks are broken down into smaller and smaller pieces until they become sand. Waves usually play a major role in building up and breaking down the shoreline. A shoreline is the boundary between land and a body of water. Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Wave Energy, continued As the wind moves across the ocean surface, it produces ripples called waves. The size of a wave depends on how hard the wind is blowing and how long the wind blows. The wind that results from summer hurricanes and severe winter storms produces large waves that cause dramatic shoreline erosion. Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Wave Energy, continued Wave Trains Waves travel in groups called wave trains. When wave trains reach shallow water, the bottom of the wave drags against the sea floor, slowing the wave down. The upper part of the wave moves more rapidly and grows taller, and begins to curl and break. These breaking waves are known as surf. The time interval between breaking waves is called the wave period. Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Wave Energy, continued The Pounding Surf Tremendous energy is released when waves break. Crashing waves can break solid rock and throw broken rocks back against the shore. Breaking waves also wash away fine grains of sand, which are picked up by the waves and wear down and polish coastal rock. The process continues until rock is broken down in smaller and smaller pieces that eventually become sand. Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Wave Erosion Shaping a Shoreline Wave erosion produces a variety of features along a shoreline. Much of the erosion responsible for coastal landforms takes place during storms. Sea cliffs are formed when waves erode and undercut rock to produce steep slopes.

Some beach material is also deposited by rivers. Waves carry a variety of materials, including sand, rock fragments, dead coral, and shells. The colors and textures of beaches vary because the type of material found on a beach depends on its source. Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Wave Deposits, continued Wave Angle and Sand Movement Waves moving at an angle to the shoreline push water along the shore and create longshore currents. Longshore currents move sand in a zigzag pattern along the beach. Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3

ResourcesChapter menu Wave Deposits, continued Offshore Deposits When waves erode material from the shoreline, longshore currents can transport and deposit the material offshore, which creates landforms in open water. A sandbar is an underwater or exposed ridge of sand, gravel, or shell material. A barrier spit is an exposed sandbar connected to the shoreline. Section 1 Shoreline Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3

Describe the process of saltation. Identify three landforms that result from wind erosion and deposition. Explain how dunes move. Section 2 Wind Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu The Process of Wind Erosion Saltation is the skipping and bouncing movement of sand or other sediments, caused by wind or water. Moving sand grains knock into one another, bounce up into the air, fall forward, and strike other sand grains, causing them to roll and bounce forward. Section 2 Wind Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu The Process of Wind Erosion, continued Deflation is a form of wind erosion in which fine, dry soil particles are blown away, removing the top layer of fine sediment or soil and leaving behind rock fragments that are too heavy to be lifted by the wind. Deflation may cause desert pavement, which is a surface consisting of pebbles and small broken rock. Scooped-out depressions in the landscape are called deflation hollows. Section 2 Wind Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu The Process of Wind Erosion, continued Abrasion is the grinding and wearing away of rock surfaces through the mechanical action of other rock or sand particles. Abrasion commonly happens in areas where there are strong winds, loose sand, and soft rocks. The blowing of millions of sharp sand grains creates a sandblasting effect, helping erode, smooth, and polish rocks. Section 2 Wind Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Wind-Deposited Materials Loess is a deposit of windblown, fine-grained sediment. Because wind can carry fine-grained material much higher and farther than it carries sand, loess deposits are sometimes found far from their source. Section 2 Wind Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3

ResourcesChapter menu Wind-Deposited Materials, continued Dunes When the wind hits an obstacle, the wind slows down, depositing the heavier material. The material collects, creating an additional obstacle and eventually forming a mound that buries the original obstacle. The mounds of wind-deposited sand are called dunes. A dune keep its shape, even though it moves. Section 2 Wind Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3

ResourcesChapter menu Section 3 Erosion and Deposition by Ice Bellringer Fourteen thousand years ago, much of North America was covered in a thick layer of ice called a continental glacier, which moved as far south as southern Illinois. Humans were living in North America at the time. Write a paragraph about being an early human and discovering this glacier. Chapter G3

Describe two ways in which glaciers move. Identify five landscape features formed by alpine glaciers. Identify four types of moraines. Section 3 Erosion and Deposition by Ice Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Glaciers—Rivers of Ice A glacier is a large mass of moving ice. They are capable of eroding, moving, and depositing large amounts of rock materials. Glaciers form in areas so cold that snow stays on the ground year-round. Because glaciers are so massive, the pull of gravity causes them to flow slowly, like “rivers of ice.” Section 3 Erosion and Deposition by Ice Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Glaciers—Rivers of Ice, continued Alpine Glaciers form in mountainous areas. One common type of alpine glacier is a valley glacier. Valley glaciers form in valleys originally created by stream erosion. As these glaciers slowly flow downhill, they widen and straighten the valleys into broad U shapes. Section 3 Erosion and Deposition by Ice Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Glaciers—Rivers of Ice, continued Continental Glaciers are huge, continuous masses of ice that can spread across entire continents. The largest continental glacier in the world covers almost all of Antarctica. This ice sheet is approximately one and a half times the size of the United States, and is more than 4,000 m thick in some places. Section 3 Erosion and Deposition by Ice Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Glaciers on the Move When enough ice builds up on a slope, the ice begins to move downhill. Thick glaciers move faster than thin glaciers, and the steeper the slope, the faster the glaciers will move. Glaciers move in two ways: sliding and flowing. A glacier slides when its weight causes the ice at the bottom to melt. A glacier flows as ice crystals within the glacier slip over each other.

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Types of Glacial Deposits As a glacier melts, it drops all the material it is carrying. Glacial drift is the general term used to describe all material carried and deposited by glaciers. Glacial drift is divided into two main types, till and stratified drift. Section 3 Erosion and Deposition by Ice Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Types of Glacial Deposits, continued Till Deposits Unsorted rock material that is deposited directly by the ice when it melts is called till. Unsorted means that the till is made up of rock material of different sizes. The most common till deposits are moraines. Moraines generally form ridges along the edges of glaciers. Section 3 Erosion and Deposition by Ice Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Types of Glacial Deposits, continued Stratified drift is a glacial deposit that has been sorted and layered by the action of streams or meltwater. Streams carry sorted material and deposit it in front of the glacier in a broad area called an outwash plain. Sometimes, a block of ice is left in an outwash plain when a glacier retreats. As the ice melts, sediment builds up around the block of ice, forming a depression called a kettle. Section 3 Erosion and Deposition by Ice Chapter G3

Explain how angle of repose is related to mass movement. Describe four types of rapid mass movement. Describe three factors that affect creep. Section 4 The Effect of Gravity on Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Angle of Repose Gravity is an agent of erosion and deposition. It influences the movement of water and ice, and it causes rocks and soil to move downslope. Mass movement is the movement of any material, such as rock, soil, or snow, downslope. Section 4 The Effect of Gravity on Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Angle of Repose, continued Material such as rock, soil, or snow moves downhill until the slope becomes stable. The angle of repose is the steepest angle at which loose material will not slide downslope. The angle of repose is different for different surface material. Size, weight, shape, and moisture level determine at what angle material will move down- slope. Section 4 The Effect of Gravity on Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Rapid Mass Movement Rock falls happen when loose rocks fall down a steep slope. The rocks can range in size from small fragments to large boulders. Mass movements, like rock falls, happen suddenly and rapidly, and can be very dangerous. Section 4 The Effect of Gravity on Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Rapid Mass Movement, continued Landslides are sudden and rapid movements of a large amount of material downslope. The most common type of landslide is a slump. Slumping occurs when a block of land becomes detached and slides downhill. Section 4 The Effect of Gravity on Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Rapid Mass Movement, continued Mudflows are rapid movements of large masses of mud. Mudflows happen when a large amount of water mixes with soil and rock. The water causes the slippery mass of mud to flow rapidly downslope. Mudflows commonly happen in mountainous regions when a long dry season is followed by heavy rains. Section 4 The Effect of Gravity on Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Rapid Mass Movement, continued Lahars are mudflows caused by volcanic eruptions or heavy rains on volcanic ash. Lahars can travel at speeds grater than 80 km/h and can be as thick as cement. On volcanoes with snowy peaks, an eruption can suddenly melt a great amount of ice. Water from the ice liquefies the soil and volcanic ash to produce a hot mudflow that rushes downslope. Section 4 The Effect of Gravity on Erosion and Deposition Chapter G3
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Slow Mass Movement Creep is the slow mass movement of material downslope. Although rapid mass movements are visible and dramatic, slow mass movements happen a little at a time. However, slow mass movements occur more frequently, and more material is moved collectively.

Waves, like ripples, don’t move alone. Waves travel in groups called wave trains. As wave trains move away from their sources, they travel through the ocean water uninterrupted. But when waves reach shallow water, they change form because the ocean floor crowds the lower part of the wave. As a result, the waves get closer together and taller.
