1 IntroIntro Objective 12/06/11 Explain how landforms are created through erosional processes How is erosion different from weathering?

2 EROSIONAL LANDFORMS

3 Erosional Landforms  Erosion  A gravity driven process that moves solids (sediment, soil, rock and other particles) from their source and deposits them elsewhere.

4

5 Erosional Landforms  What causes erosion?  Mostly water and wind  Rain, snow, sleet  Ice, glaciers  Rivers, streams  Ocean waves

6 Erosional Landforms  Rain, snow, sleet (weather)  Dissolves rock, freezes and expands rock, or washes rock away

7 Erosional Landforms  Ice, glaciers  Sediment picked up into the glacier and carried

8 Erosional Landforms  Rivers & Streams  Cut through the landscape, move rock from one place to another

9 Erosional Landforms  Ocean Waves  Erode the shorelines of the land with power and force

10 Erosional Landforms  Shoreline Erosional Landforms  Headlands  Sea Cave  Sea Arches  Sea Stacks  Wave Cut Terrence  Beaches

11 Headlands

12 Sea Caves

13 Sea Arches

14 Sea-Stacks

15 Wave-cut Terraces

16 Beaches

17 Erosional Landforms  What happens to eroded rock?  Rock that is eroded is carried towards the ocean as sediment  Becomes sand  Becomes deltas  Becomes sea-bed

18 Erosional Landforms  Ways to stop sand movement:  Groins  Jetties  Breakwaters

19 Erosional Landforms (Groins)

20 Erosional Landforms (Jetties)

21 Erosional Landforms (Breakwaters)

22 Erosional Landforms  Summary:  What is erosion?  What causes erosion?  What are some shoreline erosional landforms?  What are some ways to stop our shorelines from eroding away?

23 Objective 12/06/09 OutroOutro Explain how landforms are created through erosional processes. Using a Flow-Map, show how headlands can eventually become beaches.
