1. Weathering & Erosion Foldable
No notebooks on quiz, but you will be able to use this foldable
6-Door Foldable
Take 3 pieces of paper
Offset them 2 inches “hotdog” style
Fold over to create six “doors”

2. Mechanical Weathering
Erosion
Mechanical Weathering
Water: Rivers
Chemical Weathering
Water: Groundwater
Rate of Weathering
Water: Waves
Soil
Water (Ice): Glaciers
Soil Horizons
Wind

3. Weathering Define “weathering”
Actions: particles created by weathering are
Carried away by erosion, or
Form soil

4. Mechanical Weathering
Define “Mechanical Weathering”
Types (define each)
Release of pressure
Freezing and thawing (ice wedging)
Animal actions
Plant growth
Abrasion

5. Chemical Weathering Define “Chemical Weathering” Types (define each):
Water (H2O)
Oxygen (O2, oxidation)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Living organisms
Acid rain

6. Rate of Weathering Define how each affects rate (speed) Surface area
Type of rock (permeable, nonpermeable)
Climate
Human activities

7. Soil Define: How do scientists classify different soil types?
Soil (what is soil made of?)
Bedrock
Humus
Fertility
Loam
Litter
Decomposers
sod
How do scientists classify different soil types?

8. Soil Horizons
Draw a soil horizon diagram and define what is in each layer
A Horizon
B Horizon
C Horizon
Bedrock (D Horizon)

9. Erosion
Define:
Uniformitarianism
Erosion
Deposition
Gravity
Mass movement
Landslides, mudflows, rockfalls, slump, creep
How do weathering, erosion, and deposition interact (work together)?
What type of erosion forms a v-shaped valley? What type forms a u-shaped valley?

10. Water Erosion: Rivers Define: Runoff River features:
Rill, gully, stream, tributary, waterfall, flood plain, valley, meander, oxbow lake, alluvial fan, delta
Drawing a small river system diagram is a good idea (but optional)

11. Water Erosion: Groundwater
Define:
Groundwater
Cave, stalactite, stalagmite
Karst topography
Drawing a small cave diagram is a good idea (but optional)

12. Water (Ice) Erosion: Glaciers
Define:
Two types: continental glacier, valley glacier
Ice age
Plucking
Till
Glacier features: moraine, kettle, cirque, horn, fiord, arete, drumlin, u-shaped valley, glacial lake
Drawing a glacier diagram is a good idea (but optional
How do glaciers form, and then move?

13. Water Erosion: Waves How do ocean/lake waves form?
How do waves erode the land?
Define:
Shore features: headland, wave-cut cliff, sea stack, sea cave, sea arch, beach, spit, sandbar, barrier beach
Longshore drift

14. Wind Erosion How does wind erode land? Define: Deflation Abrasion
Loess
Sand dune
Drawing a diagram of wind erosion is a good idea (but optional)
