1. Ecoregions in Texas https://www. youtube. com/watch
Defined by: weathering, erosion, deposition forming a variety of landforms (such as beaches, plateaus, mountains and canyons) and soil types (fertile, clay rich, sandy)
The combination of topography, soil and climatic conditions have formed 10 different regions in Texas

2. Landforms: beaches

3. Plateaus

4. Mountains

5. Canyons

6. Water is an agent of weathering and erosion
The precipitation trend goes from wet to dry when moving from the east part of Texas to the west part.
So eastern ecoregions will have more signs of water erosion/deposition than western ecoregions.

7. The temperatures can affect the type of vegetation

8. WEATHERING
The breaking down of rock by physical or chemical means: wind, ice, plants, water, gravity, oxygen, carbon dioxide, other rock particles, animals.

9. EROSION
The movement of rock particles by wind, water, ice or gravity

10. DEPOSITION
The dropping of sediment

11. 10 Ecoregions of Texas

12. Each Ecoregion is unique in:
Amount of precipitation
Soil
Vegetation
Elevation
Topographic features
Agents of weathering and erosion
