Presentation Transcript

  1. Wind Erosion • Wind is a major erosional agent in areas that are hot and dry. • Wind erosion is much weaker when compared to the erosion by running water and glacial activity.

  2. Glacial Erosion • Although glaciers currently cover less than ten percent of Earth’s surface, their erosional effects are large-scale and dramatic. • Glaciers have the capacity to carry huge rocks and debris over great distances. • The erosional effects of glaciers also include deposition ( Ex. Long Island, N.Y.) and changing V-shaped valleys to U-shaped valleys.

  3. Long Island, NY • Formed from 2 terminal moraines

  4. A U-shaped valley carved by a glacier

  5. Review of Weathering and Erosion • Weathering and Erosion
