In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
What is the effect of erosion by wind?
Wind erosion is the erosion of sediment by wind. This occurs when the lifting power of moving air is able to exceed the force of gravity.
Does depositison causes the most change in landforms?
weathering
In general what causes desert pavement A. Wind erosion B. Water erosion C. Mechanical weathering D. Chemical weathering?
wind erosin
What process causes metamorphic rock to change into sedimentary rock?
Both weathering and erosion can break down rocks into smaller fragments by a number of means.
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
What are the main causes for the development of volcanoes and mountains and earthquake?
1. Weathering 2. Erosion 3. Deposition
How are erosion and weathering related?
Erosion causes the movement of material down hill. Weathering usually leaves the material being effected in place.
What happens when weathering erosion and deposition work together to change the earth's surface?
== == First off deposition is the last step out of Erosion, Weathering and itself. Chemical weathering causes the erosional effects of glaciers which also incude deposition. An example is that soil in the nothern parts of the United States are deposited of material once carried by a glacier, which pretty much starts the whole process over again. Beginning with Chemical Weathering and ending with Deposition.
What role has moving water played in shaping Earth's surface?
this causes erosion
What do weathering erosion and deposition do to the earths surface?
It makes rock, etc. move to different areas which causes more things to happen!
What causes change in color in a sedimentary rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
What is the effect of erosion by wind?
Wind erosion is the erosion of sediment by wind. This occurs when the lifting power of moving air is able to exceed the force of gravity.
What causes the breakdown of rocks?
WEATHERING and EROSION
The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
Which process causes hillsides and mountains to gradually get smaller?
Denudation. Denudational activities helps in the changing of rock and landforms on earth. The forces which helps promote denudation are reffered to as the Agents of Denudation. They include, running water, ice, waves and wind. And they act by weathering, erosion, transportion and deposition.
What is the process of erosion and how is it related to weathering?
Weathering breaks up the substance, and erosion causes it to move.
