Erosion & Deposition

Erosion & Deposition: Standard: S 6 E 5: Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth's surface is formed. Element: d. Describe processes that change rocks and the surface of the earth. e. Explain the effects of physical processes (plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, volcanic eruption, gravity) on geological features.

Essential Questions: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) What is erosion? What causes erosion? What is deposition? What causes deposition? What are the effects of erosion and deposition?

What is erosion? Erosion is a natural process of moving weathered rock and soil to another place. Erosion has a constant impact on Earth’s surface. Over millions of years, it wears down mountains by removing byproducts of weathering and depositing them elsewhere

Causes of Erosion: • Gravity constantly pulls material downward. • Water such as rainwater, water from melting snow, rivers, streams, and waves carry rock and soil particles. • Winds move small particles of dust through the air and larger particles of sand along the ground. • Ice, in the form of glaciers, transport rock and soil particles as they move downhill.

What is deposition? Deposition is a natural process of laying down or depositing sediment in new locations. Deposition occurs when: a) wind slows down or stops blowing. b) water slows down or stops moving. c) glaciers melt.

Gravity and Mass Movement Mass movement is the downhill movements of rock and soil. Gravity pulls material downward. A triggering event, such as heavy rain or an earthquake might loosen the rock and soil. As the material becomes looser, it gives way to the pull of gravity and moves downward.

Mass wasting by an avalanche. It is similar to a landslide with ice and snow instead of rock.

Water in all its forms causes erosion. Raindrops (especially in dry environments) create splash erosion that moves tiny particles of soil. Water collecting on the surface of the soil collects as it moves towards tiny rivulets and streams and creates sheet erosion. Streams and rivers move sediments. The faster water moves, the larger the objects it can pick up and transport.

The Grand Canyon

Features caused by Water Erosion Mesa As streams slowly cut through a plateau, they create flat-topped, rocky areas known as outliers. A large outlier is called a mesa. A tower-like outlier is called a butte. Buttes are tall, steep-sided towers of rock. Buttes are created by erosion. They were formerly part of flat, raised sections of land known as mesas or plateaus. Butte

Mesa

Erosion & Deposition

Ice Glaciers are large masses of ice that move over land. On a mountain, the weight of a heavy mass of ice causes it to flow downward, usually slowly. On flatter land, the ice spreads out as a sheet. As glaciers form, move, and melt away they shape landscapes.

Feature caused by Erosion by Glaciers Valley glaciers form in mountains and flow down through valleys. This is a picture of a glacier which carves out a U-shaped valley where it flows dragging rocks and boulders along the way.

Continental Ice Sheets A continental ice sheet or glacier (Greenland, below) is a vast expanse of ice which completely covers all underlying terrain. They form in mountainous or nonmountainous regions and spread outward in all directions. www. homepage. montana. edu/. . . /Continental. Ice. jpg

Till can be clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders. http: //nsidc. org/glaciers/gallery/images/bylot_island_valley_large. jpg Glaciers leave depressions that become filled with water to form bowlshaped lakes, called kettle lakes. www. arctic. uoguelph. ca/. . . /pic 36. jpg

Wind has the power to transport and deposit sediment. It can shape landforms, especially in dry regions and in areas that have few or no plants to hold soil in place. Wind can build up dunes, deposit layers of dust, or make a land surface as hard as pavement. The Work Of The Wind https: //www. youtube. com/w atch? v=VXDKLUA 4 lp. E
