16 What is Wind Erosion? Loess is wind-blown silt, sand, and clay.
Can form sand dunes 100’s of feet deep!

17 What is Water Erosion? Precipitation Mudslides Avalanche

18 What is Glacial Erosion?
Glaciation – changes in a landform made from a slowly moving sheet of ice (glacier) Moraines – rocks left behind after a glacier moves Creates new valleys, hills, or ridges

 As much as plate tectonics builds up the Earth’s surface, forces in nature are also working to wear it down. One major force of erosion happens due.
