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.
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.
