Types of:
Erosion
- Glaciers carrying/dragging material
- Rivers carrying/dragging material
- Wind carrying/dragging material:
-Traction:Rocks rolling along the floor
-Saltation:Rocks bouncing along
-Suspension:Rocks being carrying in the air
Weathering
- Biological:
-Plant roots
-Animals burrowing
-(Break down of rocks in situ by organisms)
- Chemical:
-Acid rain: nitric acid; sulfuric acid (SO2 from factories and water); carbonic acid (CO2 and water)
- Physical:
-Wind
-Hail
-Exfoliation (constant change in heat causes rock to stretch to the point which it breaks apart into layers)
What else can I help you with?
How is erosions and weathering different?
Weathering brakes up rock. Erosion removes the broken up pieces.
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
How can a sedimentary rock change into a different sedimentary rock?
by how they can used erosion and weathering
What type of force is weathering and erosion?
Although the terms are frequently used together, weathering and erosion are uniquely different. Weathering is the physical, chemical and biotic breakdown of a substance and erosion is how it is carried off. Ice, water and wind contribute to the erosion process.
Is erosion and weathering the same thing?
No, though they are often confused. Here are the definitions:Weathering: the wearing away of rocks in situErosion: the wearing away and taking away of rocks
What thing is different from erosion and weathering?
Erosion is when..................................................................................................................................................and weathering is when......................................................................................................!
What do weathering and erosion do to the earth's surface?
it kinds of destroyes it
How is erosion different from weathering, and what specific processes does erosion involve that weathering does not?
Erosion is the process of moving weathered material from one place to another, while weathering is the breakdown of rocks and minerals in place. Erosion involves transportation of the weathered material by agents like water, wind, or ice, which weathering does not.
Different factors that affect the shape of the Earth?
1. WEATHERING a. physical weathering/mechanical weathering b. chemical weathering 2. EROSION a. erosion by water b. erosion by wind c. erosion by ice/glaciers 3. MASS MOVEMENT a. landslide b. mudslide 4. TECTONIC PLATE MOVEMENT
How is erosions and weathering different?
Weathering brakes up rock. Erosion removes the broken up pieces.
What is the different between weathering and erosion?
maybe there just differrent by how they work
What does weathering and erosion have on rocks?
Weathering is when it rains and has a vary amount of wind and different types of weather. Erosion is when he rocks deform to different shapes. So it has a HUGE Impact because it changes the look of the rock.
How can erosion cause weathering?
Erosion can cause weathering by wearing down rocks and transporting particles, exposing them to different environmental conditions. This exposes the rocks to more physical and chemical processes that contribute to their breakdown and eventual disintegration, leading to weathering.
How can biological weathering cause problems?
Weathering of any kind can sometimes cause problems, like erosion of topsoil. Biological weathering, where the weathering is caused by living things (plants and animals), can cause the same kinds of problems.
Is erosion another name for weathering?
Yes, erosion is a synonym of weathering.
What comes first weathering erosion deposition?
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
Does weathering must take place before erosion?
Weathering does not necessarily have to take place before erosion. While weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the process of transporting these particles to a new location. Weathering can occur simultaneously with erosion or even after erosion has started.
