1. Weathering, Erosion and Deposition

2. Weathering Erosion Deposition
Water getting into cracks, freezing and breaking rocks apart
Waves wearing down rock creating a sea cliff
Sea Arch forms from wind and water
Flood water pounding against a canyon wall and wearing it down
Waterfalls wearing down cliffs
Rocks breaking down from wind and rain
Azure Window in Malta
Arches National Park
Rain washing away soil from a hillside
Wind blowing sand from on location to another
Muddy water being carried away by a fast-moving river
A mudslide flowing down a steep hill
Sand dunes forming from wind in a desert
Rock settling at the bottom of a volcanic mountain after an eruption
Waves dropping sand on a beach
River deltas form where rivers flow into large bodies of water
Glaciers drop rock and sand forming landforms called moraines
Layers of sediment forming on the ocean floor
Barrier Island forms from sand building up near the coast

3. Causes of Change Weathering – Break down of rock. Breaks it!
Erosion – movement of rock.
Moves it!
Deposition – settling and layering of rock.
Drops it!

8. Causes of weathering, erosion and deposition
Wind
Water – rivers, waterfalls, streams, oceans, rain
Ice – glaciers
Gravity
Plate tectonics – Earthquakes and Volcanoes
Plants and animals including humans
