Weathering & Erosion

Weathering The process in which rocks on the surface of a planet are broken down into smaller particles. There are 2 types of weathering:

1. Mechanical Weathering The process in which rocks are broken apart physically. The rocks remain the same, they only change size.

Mechanical Weathering Examples Rocks falling and hitting other rocks. Water smashing rocks together. Roots growing in the cracks of a rock causing it to split.

Another Type of Mechanical Weathering Ice Wedging –Ice forms in a crack in a rock night after night causing it to split.

2. Chemical Weathering The process of breaking apart material by chemical means. The rock is dissolved or eaten away.

Examples of Chemical Weathering Acid rain eating away at a rock. Rock rust – the iron in a rock reacting to the oxygen in the atmosphere.

Erosion The process of moving ground material from one place to another. There are 4 main causes of erosion:

1. Wind Wind picks up small particles and moves them to new locations.

Wind Erosion Examples Abrasion – Wind picks up small particles and smashes them into other objects. Dunes – The placement of small particles against a barrier.

2. Water The movement of particles caused by water.

Examples of Water Erosion Stream Erosion – Particles carried by a stream that smash into each other. Gully Erosion – Water carves a path into the ground. Flood Erosion – A thin sheet of water slowly moves surface material.

3. Gravity Gravity pulls rocks and soil downward.

Examples of Gravity Erosion Mudslide Rockslide Slump – The movement of soil downward in layers. Creep – The slow movement of soil downhill.

4. Ice The slow movement of glaciers that pick up surface material and move it down hill.

Examples of Ice Erosion Plucking – The picking up and moving of large particles by ice. U-Shaped valleys – Glaciers carve out rounded U-shaped valleys.

Deposition The final placing of material that has been moved by erosional forces.
