2 pg. 120 1/ 14/ 2013 Focus: Weathering, Erosion, Deposition Objective: 6.E.2.3 Today I will evaluate the forces that shape the lithosphere. HW: review and practice Warm UP: Intro and Review (read both passages and answer the questions – complete sentences)

3 Warm-up: Graffiti Brainstorm Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Rocks, Rock Cycle, Minerals, Physical, Chemical

4  Homework: Draw a mountain. Then draw the same mountain 1 million years later. Describe what happens to the mountain over time. (The words: weathering, sediment, erosion, and deposition must be included.)

5 Weathering and Erosion

6 Weathering  Weathering is: Process where natural forces break down rocks

7  Physical Weathering: Rocks breaking down with out changing  Chemical Weathering: Rocks breaking down changing the composition and pulling minerals out the rocks

8 Type of Weathering: Frost Wedging Rocks split apart when water freezes and expands.

9 Frost Wedging slowly broke up this sedimentary rock into unusual shapes.

10  The earth's surface is constantly being eroded. This means that rocks are broken up into smaller pieces by weathering agents such as wind, water, and ice. These small pieces of rock turn into pebbles, gravel, sand, and clay. They tumble down rivers and streams. These pieces settle in a new place and begin to pile up and the sediments form flat layers. Over a long period of time, the pieces become pressed together and form solid rock called sedimentary rock. Most sedimentary rocks form under water. Most of the earth has been covered by water some time in the past. 70% of the earth is covered by water now. So sedimentary rocks are common all over the world. Sedimentary rocks are often rich in fossils. weatheringsedimentssedimentaryfossilsweatheringsedimentssedimentaryfossils

11 Plant Roots Trees, bushes, and other plants may grow in cracks in rocks as the roots grows -> split rock

12 Water  Water weathers rock by rubbing it over and over again.

13 Acid Rain Rain or snow has been polluted.

14 Acid Rain

15 Erosion  The process where water, ice, wind or gravity moves bits of rock and soil.

16 What is the Difference Between Weathering and Erosion??  Weathering: If a particle is loosened but stays in one place.  Erosion: Once the particle starts moving.

17 Deposition  Deposition: sediment is placed in a new location  Gravity: important part of erosion and deposition

18 Which mountain experienced the most erosion? Height in the year 1508 A.D. Height in the year 2008 A.D. Mountain A1500 Meters1450 Meters Mountain B1500 Meters1250 Meters Mountain C1500 Meters1320 Meters Mountain D1500 Meters1400 Meters

20 Weathering  Erosion  Deposition

21 Water Erosion  Rivers, streams, and runoff

22 Water In this picture the running water eroded the sides of this canyon and created the V-shaped valleys.

23 Ice Erosion Glaciers – large mass of ice that moves over land Glaciers carve land, move sediments, break up rock This is a picture of a glacier which carves out a U-shaped valley where it flows dragging rocks and boulders along the way.

24 Wind Erosion

25 Wind  These rocks have been blasted by wind and sand causing them to become rounded.

26 Mass Movements  Landslides, mudslides

27 Creep This is a diagram of creep. The hillside slowly slips over many years from temperature or water.

28  Ocean waves, currents – powered by wind -> move thousands of tons of sand on beaches can change the look of the land and shape a variety of coastal landforms  Barrier islands – long, narrow islands that develop parallel to the coast

29 Port Campbell National Park  Movement of water, constant action of waves breaking against the cliffs Caused slow wearing of the cliffs
