Question

directions: use your flipbook to answer the following questions. 1. what three processes work together to cause changes to earths land? 2. what is the movement of sediment from one place to another? 3. what are the four things that cause weathering? 4. gravity. is the dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or 5. what is a glacier? 6. moving water can cause to form. 7. is the wearing away or slow breaking apart of rock into smaller pieces.

Explanation:

These answers are based on fundamental concepts in geology. Weathering breaks down rocks, erosion transports the broken - down materials, and deposition is where they are laid down. Gravity is a key force in these processes, and glaciers and moving water are important agents of erosion and deposition.

Answer:

1. The three processes that work together to cause changes to Earth's land are weathering, erosion, and deposition.
2. The movement of sediment from one place to another is called erosion. The four things that cause weathering are water, wind, ice, and temperature changes.
3. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. It is involved in the movement of sediment as it causes materials to slide or fall downhill.
4. The dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity is called deposition.
5. A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land. Glaciers can cause erosion and deposition as they move, picking up and transporting sediment and then depositing it in new locations.
6. Moving water can cause erosion. As water flows, it can carry away small pieces of rock and soil. Over time, this can wear away rock and change the shape of the land.
7. Weathering is the wearing away or slow breaking apart of rock into smaller pieces. It can be caused by physical, chemical, or biological processes.
