We can tell how sediment was deposited by how it is sorted.

Sediment can be sorted by size, shape, or density.

The photograph below shows a sandstone butte in an arid region. Which agents of erosion are currently changing the appearance of this butte (name 2)? Wind & Mass Movement

Identify the agent of erosion

The same agents that erode sediment also deposit sediments. Deposition is when sediments stop moving.

We can tell how sediment was deposited by how it is sorted.

Sediment can be sorted by size, shape, or density.

Or sediment can be unsorted.

Recall: What are the 4 agents of erosion? Moving Water Wind Glaciers Mass Wasting Predict: Which agents will deposit material that is unsorted? Which agents will deposit material that is sorted?

Glaciers and mass wasting leave UNSORTED and UNLAYERED sediments.

Wind sorts small sediment. Wind is not strong enough to move large sediments.

Deposition by wind creates sand dunes

Water leaves sorted and layered deposits

Deposition of sediments helps to create the landscapes around us. Long Island is made up of unsorted glacial material

Pieces of bedrock material that are broken from a cliff and deposited by a landslide at the base of the cliff are best described as (1)rounded and sorted (2)rounded and unsorted (3)angular and sorted (4)angular and unsorted

Which two layers of sediments were probably deposited directly by glaciers? B&F

What determines how sediments are sorted? Size - Large sediments settle faster than smaller sediments.

What determines how sediments are sorted? Density – High density sediments settle at high rate

What determines how sediments are sorted? Shape – Round particles settle before flat particles

The diagram below shows a partial cross section of a valley near location A on map III. On this diagram, draw a line beginning at X and ending at Y to show the shape of this valley after it was eroded by glacial ice that flowed down the valley.

Weathering is the process of breaking down rock

Abrasion is a form of physical weathering caused by friction between rock particles Aka rocks rub against each other

The primary agent of erosion is… Moving Water
