More Layers$500

Answer:

Acid rain dissolving the surface of rocks is an example of this. (WED?)

What is weathering?

Erosion$100

Answer:

This is the downhill movement of rock and soil due to gravity.

• What is mass movement?

Erosion$200

Answer:

This is the movement of wet soil downhill due to gravity.

• What are mudslides?

Erosion$300

Answer:

This is the downhill movement of dry soil due to gravity. What are

landslides?

Erosion$400

Answer:

This occurs when soil moves slowly downhill due to gravity.

What is creep?

Erosion$500

Answer:

These can slowly move sediment on the ocean floor to form terminal moraines.

More WED?$100

Answer:

Water getting into cracks of rocks, freezing, and breaking the rocks apart is an example of this. (WED?)

What is weathering?

More WED?$200

Answer:

Wind blowing sand from one location to another is an example of this. (WED?)

What is deposition?

More WED?$500

Answer:

Deltas forming at the mouths of rivers is an example of this. (WED?)

What is deposition?

Miscellaneous$100

Answer:

This type of soil can be blown away easily by a gust of wind. (wet, dry, or covered with grass)

What is the dry soil?

Miscellaneous $200

Answer:

This occurs when people build roads, houses, and parking lots.

What is erosion? (or What is the erosion of soil?)

Miscellaneous $300

Answer:

This results when an ocean breaks pebbles into smaller and smaller pieces.

Final Jeopardy!Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition

Make your bid!!

There are four main natural agents (causes) of erosion. Name 3 of them.

You must have 3 of the following:

1. water (rainfall and rivers can carry sediment to other places)

2. wind (wind can pick up and move small rock material)

3. glaciers (glaciers slowly move the sediment on the ocean floor)

4. gravity (gravity can cause mass movement)
