1. EROSION NOTES
EROSION: The process by which weathered rock and soil particles are moved from one place to another.

2. DEPOSITION
The process by which sediments are laid down in new locations

3. GRAVITY
Pulls rock and soil down slopes
It is also called mass wasting

4. WIND
Wind is most active agent of erosion in deserts, in plowed fields and on beaches
It can create sand dunes

5. RUNNING WATER Running water is the major cause of erosion Examples:
Rivers
Streams
Rain water runoff

6. GLACIERS
Glacial ice erodes by abrasion and by carrying sediments with them as they move

7. WAVES
Powerful forces of waves constantly erodes and shapes the shoreline
Creates:
sea cliffs caves
beaches sand bars
