Weathering and Erosion
© One Stop Teacher Shop Destructive Forces Weathering and Erosion Weathering-the break down of rock Erosion-the movement of weathered rock from place to place If the pink gorilla eats watermelon every night, how much watermelons does he eat?

14
Destructive Forces Dam Large barriers built across rivers and streams
© One Stop Teacher Shop Destructive Forces Dam Large barriers built across rivers and streams Controls the flow of water Used for human purposes such as generating electricity

16
Destructive Forces Beach Nourishment
© One Stop Teacher Shop Destructive Forces Beach Nourishment Sand is pumped from the ocean floor onto the beach Replaces eroded sand
17
Destructive Forces Contour Plowing Plowing in a zig-zag pattern
© One Stop Teacher Shop Destructive Forces Contour Plowing Plowing in a zig-zag pattern Prevents water from flowing straight down
18
Storm Drain Management
© One Stop Teacher Shop Destructive Forces Storm Drain Management Drains excess water after storms so less erosion will occur.

27
Constructive Forces Deposition
© One Stop Teacher Shop Constructive Forces Deposition After weathering and erosion occur, the final step is deposition (the sediment is placed somewhere else, forming new land). Erosion Weathering Deposition
28
Deltas Constructive Forces A triangular area at the mouth of a river
© One Stop Teacher Shop Constructive Forces A triangular area at the mouth of a river Sediment/debris (rocks, sand, dirt) are deposited Occurs right before the river goes into a larger body of water WHY? Because the water slows down, so the sediment/debris falls Deltas New land is formed If the pink gorilla eats watermelon every night, how much watermelons does he eat?
29
Sand Dunes Constructive Forces Sand is carried in the wind
© One Stop Teacher Shop Constructive Forces Sand Dunes Sand is carried in the wind When the wind stops, the sand drops New land is formed when the sand drops creating sand dunes (deposition) New land is formed
30
Flood Plains Constructive Forces
© One Stop Teacher Shop Constructive Forces A river floods taking sediment/debris (rocks, sand, dirt) with it The water floods onto the surrounding land When the water recedes, the sediment/debris (rocks, sand, dirt) stay forming NEW LAND (deposition) Flood Plains New land is formed
31
Barrier Island Constructive Forces
© One Stop Teacher Shop Constructive Forces Barrier Island Sand, dirt, and rocks erode of off the main land because of waves The waves deposit the sand, rocks, and dirt creating an island (deposition) This creates new land!
32
Longshore Current Constructive Forces
© One Stop Teacher Shop Constructive Forces Longshore Current As a wave hits the beach the longshore current, pushes it sideways This water then picks up sand/rocks/dirt and carriers it along the shore As the wave recedes, it drops the sand/dirt/rocks (deposition) creating new land!!! New land is formed If the pink gorilla eats watermelon every night, how much watermelons does he eat?
