Erosion and Deposition 6th Grade Earth Science October 2016

Erosion is the movement of sediment by wind, ice, water, or gravity. What is Erosion? Erosion is the movement of sediment by wind, ice, water, or gravity.

What is Deposition? The process by which sediment drops out of the wind, water, ice, or gravity (w,w,i,g) that carried it and settles in a new location.

Gravity Sediment falls

Gravity Erosion Angle of Repose is the steepest angle, or slope, at which a material will not slide down. If the slope is weathered, material erodes downward due to gravity.

gravity moves material down a slope Gravity Deposition Mass Movement gravity moves material down a slope Landslide - rock & soil fall quickly Slump – rock & soil suddenly fall, big mass Creep – slow, down movement of rock/ soil. Mudflow - mud Avalanche - snow

What type of mass movement is each picture? LANDSLIDE MUDFLOW 2 1 What type of mass movement is each picture? http://classes.colgate.edu/dkeller/geol101/massw/mass.htm CREEP SLUMP 4 3

Ice (glaciers) carry sediment.

Ice Erosion Continental Glaciers – covers continent. Flattens / smoothes land Kettle Lakes Alpine Glacier – in the mountains. Land made rugged. Horns – sharp pyramid shaped peaks U-Shaped Valleys

Ice Deposition Tills – unsorted, deposited rock material Moraines – ridges along edge of glacier Stratified Drift – layers of rock deposited based on size Outwash plain – large area of drift

Wind blows sediment after it is weathered.

Wind Deposition Sand Dunes – mounds of wind deposited sand. Move in direction of wind. Loess – thick deposits of fine-grained, wind blown sediment http://www.nwlg.org/pages/resources/geog/hydro_cycle/dunes/stop7b.htm

Wind.asf

Water Water (rivers, oceans, rain, etc.) washes sediment after being weathered

Water Erosion Sea Cliffs – rock wears away Sea Caves – hole in rock created by waves near cliff Sea Arches – waves cut hole completely through rock in a sea cave Sea Stacks – offshore column of rock once connected to the mainland

Water Deposition Deltas – slow river current drops sediment in fan-shaped pattern at end of river Sand Bars – offshore deposit of sand, gravel, or shell material Alluvial Fans Beaches – deposited sand
