2. Erosion Erosion - the removal of ground materials (soil, sand, rocks) by water or wind. Taking rocks, soil, and/or sand from one place… … and depositing them somewhere else. COPY WHAT IS IN THE BOX

3. Clip Question List the types of erosion. Taking rocks, soil, and/or sand from one place… … and depositing them somewhere else. COPY WHAT IS IN THE BOX

4. Types of Erosion 1. Glaciers  a large, slowly moving, river of ICE COPY WHAT IS IN THE BOX

5. Glacier Example: Iceland - Glaciers carve out huge chunks of land forming canyons and valleys thus creating mountains out of flat land. COPY WHAT IS IN THE BOX

6. Glaciers – how they form 1.Explain how glaciers form. 2.Describe the climate that can support glaciers. READ ONLY Underneath your Glacier notes, sketch a picture of a glacier.

7. Effects of Glaciers Appalachian Mountains – Old Glacial Effects Alaska – New Glacial Effects READ ONLY

8. 2. Wind Erosion - wind blows sand and small rocks - This exposes the larger rocks below and smoothes them down. COPY WHAT IS IN THE BOX

9. Wind Erosion Causes dust storms Harms crops -What would be an economic effect of wind erosion? Create a real example to demonstrate your answer. COPY WHAT IS IN THE BOX Underneath your Wind Erosion notes, sketch a picture of wind erosion.

10. 3. Water Erosion (2 types) A. Rivers  rivers cut through rock carving out canyons COPY WHAT IS IN THE BOX Underneath your River Erosion notes, sketch a picture of River Erosion.

11. 3. Water Erosion – 2 types B. Coastal Erosion – occurs when waves carry beach land out to sea COPY WHAT IS IN THE BOX Underneath your Coastal Erosion notes, sketch a picture of a coastal erosion.
