Types of Weathering

• Chemical:– Oxidation– Dissolving by acids

• Mechanical/ Physical:– Ice wedging– Release of pressure– Abrasion– Plant Action

Review

EROSION and DEPOSITIONErosion takes away land in one place and builds land in another.Deposition is when moving water, ice, wind, or gravity drops a load of Earth materials in a new place.

Examples: Rainwater running off land carries away sediment.Moving water erodes land at the shore, waves carry sand off one beach, and deposit it on another.

• EROSIONAL FEATURES – Moving water: Gullies, stream or river, delta– Ice: Glaciers, valleys– Gravity: Landslides, mudflows– Wind: Sand dunes,Sandstone arches…

Satellite Imagery

Content objective: Interpret topographic maps and satellite views to identify land and erosional features and predict how these features may be reshaped by

weathering.

Student expectation: The student knows that natural events can impact Earth systems.

Big Ideas

Comparing satellite images reveals slow and subtle land changes as well as rapid ones.• How does Earth’s surface change?• How does technology help us better

understand landforms and track change over time?

• Are satellite images examples of 2D or 3D models?

The Grand Canyon is an erosional feature created by water and wind

70 million years old

Question:Which type of weathering occurred?

Tracking changes over time

“Researchers from a University in China have warned that dozens of mountains have already been flattened (to create land to build on) and this is causing air and water pollution, soil erosion and flooding”
