Erosion and Deposition
How are landforms created?
A mass of rock and soil slips down a slope in a solid mass
Rapid downhill movement of water, rock, and soil. This can occur after heavy rains
Over time, soil slowly moves downhill, tilting objects on the surface
Landslides Mudflows Slump Creep
Runoff = water that moves over Earth’s sUrface Most precipitation goes back to the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration A very little bit of precipitation remains in the ground in the aquifers (groundwater)Just under ⅓ of precipitation returns to the oceans as runoff.
Gravity Running water Glaciers Wind Waves
The movement of sediment in a downhill fashion due to gravity.
Rock and soil move quickly down a steep slope
The face of the earth is constantly changing, due to erosion and deposition Erosion: moving of weathered rock and soil Sediment: material moved by erosion Deposition: where sediment is laid down (deposited)
What are the 5 major forces of erosion?
