Transcript Weathering, Erosion, & Deposition

Weathering, Erosion,
& Deposition
By: Riley, Kaylee, and Emily
Weathering
• We thought that this would be
considered weathering because it
showed the dirt broken down, most
likely by water.
Deposition
• We think that this picture is
deposition because you can see where
water carried away and dropped off
the rocks surrounding us.
Weathering
• We think this is weathering because
wind and water have broken it down
through the years and made it crack.
Erosion
• We think that this is erosion because
the water that goes though the grate
carries dirt and rocks to a different
place.
Deposition
• We think that this picture represents
deposition because the rocks in the
picture have been carried away from
there original spots to were they are
now probably because of rain or
water.
Weathering
• We think this is weathering because
the corner of the side walk is broken
down, probably by water.
Weathering
• We think this is weathering because
Zac made a foot print and it made a
mark in the sand.
Glaciers
• When a chunk of ice gets broken of a
glacier it is called calving
• Glaciers are good example of erosion
and deposition because they pick up
sediment and drop it of in a different
place.
• Glaciers are huge amounts of ice that
move very slowly.
The Grand Canyon
• The Grand Canyon is a giant area formed by
a rushing river that isn’t there anymore
• No one has ever found a fossilized skeleton
or bone in the Grand Canyon
• The chasm of the Grand Canyon is 277 miles
and is 18 miles wide
• The Grand Canyon took 3-6 million years to
form
