Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Quiz

1. Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Quiz

2. 1. Weathering A) drops the sediments that are carried as energy is lost. B) moves surface materials from one place to another. C) breaks rock into smaller pieces such as sand, silt, and clay. D) Carries and deposits sediments over large areas.

3. 2. Erosion A) drops the sediments that are carried as energy is lost. B) moves surface materials from one place to another. C) breaks rock into smaller pieces such as sand, silt, and clay. D) occurs when chemical reactions dissolve the minerals in rocks or change them into different minerals – changes chemical composition.

8. 7. Slump occurs • when mass of material slips down along a curved surface • when sediments slowly shift their positions downhill • when blocks of rock break loose from steep slope and tumble through the air D) when plowing removes plant cover leaving soil vulnerable to wind and water erosion
