2. EROSION FACTORS Wind – Breaks down Rock, Rounds edges, Canyons Water (Moving) –Breaks down rock and caries it away. Creates V shaped valleys, canyons, water falls. Glaciers –Scours the surface breaking down rock and creating U shaped valleys

3. Wind Process Wind works like a sand blaster. Wind picks up tiny pieces of sand or dust and blows it against rocks to carve away the earths surface. Areas that have intensified winds and large amounts of sand see the most dramatic results

4. Slot Canyons SW

5. Moving Water Process As water moves it picks up sediments and pushes them along. These sediments then bang in to the sides and bottom of the river and wear it away. This creates features like Canyons, water falls, and valleys.

7. Glacier Process Glaciers are made up of fallen snow that, over many years, compresses into large, thickened ice masses. Glaciers form when snow remains in one location long enough to transform into ice. What makes glaciers unique is their ability to move. Due to sheer mass, glaciers flow like very slow rivers. Some glaciers are as small as football fields, while others grow to be over a hundred kilometers long.

8. Donjek Glacier in the Saint Elias Range, Yukon Territory, Canada. 1985 Glaciers occupy about 10 percent of the world's total land area

9. Franze Joseph Glacier New Zealand

22. Building Processes Convergent Plates – Volcanoes and Mountains Divergent Plates –Rift Valleys Transform Plates –Fault lines and Earthquakes

23. A Mountain has to be over 2,000 feet. And a volcano is formed when one plate getting subducted under another. The heat melts the plate and a magma chamber is formed. Then the magma escapes to the Earths surface as Lava creating the first layer of the volcano. Volcanic Process-Convergent

26. Mt St. Helens

29. Mount St. Helens: dome glowing at night August 2005

30. Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica

31. Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. August 2006.

32. Mountain Process- Convergent Two CONTINENTAL PLATES collide Both plates push up and create mountains

35. Rift Valley- Divergent When plates move apart they create a rift valley. Moving apart creates a space where lava can seep though

38. Fault Lines- Transform When two plates move side by side in opposite directions a fault line is created. This area gets tremendous stress as the rocks try to slide past each other. Often plates get stuck and do not move for 100’s of years until the rock breaks. When they do move they make up the difference in a matter of minutes creating Earthquakes.

40. San Andreas Fault in California
