1 Weathering, Erosion, Deposition

2 The breakdown of rocks at or near the Earth s Surface. Physical Chemical

3 - The breakdown of rock into smaller pieces without chemical change. - Dominant in moist /cold conditions - Creates more surface area

4 - Water gets into cracks, freezes and expands causing rock to split. - Occurs in climates with freezing and thawing temperatures EX: Pot-holes

5 - Roots grow into and under rocks - As roots grow they pry the rock apart

6

7 - Bumping and rubbing of rocks as they collide - Causes rocks to become smaller, smoother and rounder

8

9 - Surface rock peels off - Due to rock expanding and contracting from temperature and pressure changes

10 - The breakdown of rock through a change in mineral composition or chemical change. - Dominant in warm/moist climates - Occurs on the surface of rock materials

11 - When iron combines with oxygen to make iron oxide. What is iron oxide? RUST

12

13 - Carbonic acid in rain causes minerals to dissolve away. Ex: marble grave stones

14

15 - Water weakens the rock and the rock crumbles. Ex: feldspar become clay

16 - Weaker less resistant rocks weather away faster then harder more resistant rocks. - In diagram shale (layer A) is less resistant then the other rocks.

17 Factors that Effect Weathering Cold and Moist - Creates more surface area where weathering can occur - Longer exposure = more weathering - Weaker rocks are less resistant and weather faster

18

19 Factors that Effect Weathering Cold and Moist - Creates more surface area where weathering can occur - Longer exposure = more weathering Warm and Moist - Occurs on the surface where the rock is exposed to the atmosphere or hydrosphere. - Weaker rocks are less resistant and weather faster - Weakens the minerals in the rock so it breaks down easier.

20 Mineral Composition Examples: - Calcite in limestone and marble weather quickly because it dissolves in acidic water.

22 - Soil is the result of weathering and biological activity over long periods of time

23 - Soil is the same substance as the underlying bedrock - Soil formed and stayed in the same place, this is rare - Soil is made up completely of different material then the underlying bedrock. - Soil was transported = moved

24 Weathering Leads to Soil Formation

40 - The most erosive agent Water Erosion - Gravity causes water to flow downhill - Sediments are weathered by abrasion - The faster the water moves the larger the particles it can transport - As water slows down the larger, rounder more dense particles settle out first - Sediments in stream move slower than the water - Streams have a V- shaped Valley

41

42 Any body of water with a current Streams, rivers, brooks, creeks, etc.

43 Oxbow Lake Slope The steeper the slope the faster the water flows The greater the volume the faster the water flows Volume of water flowing past a fixed point in a given period of time A cut off Meander - Curve in a stream - Outside of curve = water flows fastest, erosion occurs - Inside of curve = water flows slowest and deposition occurs

44 Stream Velocity

45

46

47

48

49 - Steep slope, straight channel - High energy, fast moving - Lots of erosion - Narrow V-shaped valley

50

51

52 - Gentler gradient, slower moving water - Meanders develop - Valley becomes wider than river channel - Flood plain develops (where water goes when river overflows)

53

54 - The land is almost flat - Levees form - along stream mounds of sediment are deposited when stream overflows - Oxbow lakes cut off meander

58 Determined by the topography of the surface and the underlying bedrock - Most common - Looks like branches on a tree

59 - Occurs when stream flows away from a high point - Looks like spokes on a wheel

60 - Occurs on an eroded dome - Circular pattern with small tributaries going into each circle

61 - Occurs where drainage flows along folds and faults

62

65

66 - All agents of erosion are driven by gravity - Examples of gravity erosion, are, landslides, dropping off cliffs, mass movement down steep slopes -After mass movement, rocks look rough and angular

67

68 Types of Mass Movement

69 Angle of Repose Angle of hill slope necessary for gravity to overcome friction and pull down sediment.

71 Wave and Current Erosion

72 Wave Erosion - Wave action round sediments as a result of abrasion - Shores are protected by barrier islands

73 Beaches are formed by the weathering of continental and oceanic rocks - Ridge of sand formed along shore by the action of waves and currents. - Protect barrier islands from erosion

74 - A long narrow island running parallel with the main land made up of mostly sand. - Built by the action of waves currents and wind that distributes the sand. - Protects the main land from erosion

75

76

77

78 - Long Shore Current: the movement of sand parallel to the shore by waves. Sand moves in a zig-zag pattern.

79

80 -Beach protection structures that protect against long shore drift - Allows for eroded sand to be caught and pilled up.

81 Groins and Jetties affect Longshore Currents

85 Glacial Erosion

86 - Large very slow moving mass of ice Glacier Erosion - Form in high latitudes and high elevations - Gravity causes a glacier to flow downhill - Push drag and carry any size sediment from boulders to clay - Deposition is unsorted (all mixed up, called Till) - Striation- parallel scratches and grooves in the bedrock - U shaped valley

87 Glacial Till: Unsorted Sediment

88 Striations

89 U shaped Valley

90 Glacier Movement A glacier is always moving, by either adding ice or snow or by melting and sublimation. If more ice and snow accumulates than melts glacier will ADVANCE If melting is greater than accumulation glacier will RETREAT

109 Deposition

110 Deposition As transporting agent slows down sediment begins to settle out. *Water and Wind deposits are sorted and layered. * Gravity and Glacial deposits are unsorted and not layered Rounder particles settle faster than flat particles Larger particles settle faster than smaller particles More dense particles settle faster than less dense particles

111 When larger, rounder and more dense particles settle out first in a distinct order. When sediments are dropped in not particular order (all mixed up)

112 Sediment Characteristics and Rate of Deposition

113

114

115 - Occurs when a stream enters a large body of water. - Velocity of stream slows down - Larger particles settle out first followed by smaller and smaller particles

116 Sorting of Sediments and Deposition Horizontal Sorting

117

118 - Sorting of sediments from bottom to top - Largest, roundest, and densest particles settle out first and are at the bottom Describe the relationship between setting rate and shape- - Faster water carries the bigger sediments, when slows down bigger sediments drop out first.
