EROSION-
The transport of weathered materials…

3. Major Erosive Agents: RUNNING WATER GLACIERS WIND
OCEAN CURRENTS AND WAVES
MASS WASTING (GRAVITY!)

4. The velocity changes in the S-shaped curves called MEANDERS
The velocity changes in the S-shaped curves called MEANDERS. Fastest on the outside of the curve – erosion Slowest on the inside of the curve - deposition

7. Water Velocity determines the size particle that can be moved via suspension and bed load

11. Wind Erosion Sediment – sand or smaller
Arid regions or ocean coastlines
2 types:
1. Deflation – lowers the land
2. Sandblasting and Abrasion

12. Sandblasting and Abrasion
Wind can only lift sand to about 1 meter high - results in “Mushroom Rock”
Frosted or Pitted sediments – rocks with flat sides
