Weathering Erosion and Deposition
WeatheringThe process that breaks
down rock and other
substances at Earth’s surface

Erosion The removal of rock
particles by wind, water,
ice, or gravity

Erosion
The process by which natural
forces move weathered
rock and soil from one place to another

Sediment
The material moved by erosion

Sediment May be pieces of
rock, soil, or the remains of plants and
animals

DepositionWhen wind and water
finally calm, the rocks and the
sediment settle to the
bottom

Deposition
Changes the shape of the
land

Act together in a cycle that wears down and builds up
Earth’s surface

The force that moves
rock and other
material downhill

Any of several
processes that move sediment downhill

Types of Mass Movement
![Page 13: Changing Earth’s Surface. Weathering Erosion and Deposition Weathering The process that breaks down rock and other substances at Earth’s surface.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f395503460f94c5636c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Most destructive mass movement
Types of Mass Movement
Landslide
Rock and soil slide quickly down a steep
slope
![Page 14: Changing Earth’s Surface. Weathering Erosion and Deposition Weathering The process that breaks down rock and other substances at Earth’s surface.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f395503460f94c5636c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rapid downhill
movement of water, rock,
and soil
Types of Mass Movement
Mudflow
![Page 15: Changing Earth’s Surface. Weathering Erosion and Deposition Weathering The process that breaks down rock and other substances at Earth’s surface.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f395503460f94c5636c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Types of Mass Movement
Slump
A mass of rock and soil
suddenly slips down a slope in one large
mass

Types of Mass Movement
Creep
Very slow downhill
movement of rock and soil
