"Describe and explain how Earth’s surface is built up and torn down through the processes of physical and chemical weathering, erosion, and deposition."
Learning objective:
3. Slide
60 seconds
Physical & chemical weathering break down rocks & other materials. Erosion moves the broken pieces away. Deposition occurs when the pieces are dropped in a new place.
The Effects of Earth's Forces

Physical Weathering: The breaking down of rocks and other materials into smaller pieces through physical forces such as freezing, thawing, and wind. Chemical Weathering: The breakdown of rocks and other materials through chemical reactions such as oxidation and acidification. Erosion: The process by which weathered material is moved from one place to another by water, wind, ice, or gravity.
Concepts:

Physical and chemical weathering can create new minerals in rocks, such as how iron and oxygen can combine to form hematite. Erosion is the main cause of the formation of shorelines, such as beaches, cliffs, and lagoons. Deposition can cause new landforms to form, such as deltas and levees.
