  1. Erosion-Movement of weathered rock

  2. Deposition • The process of laying the weathered material down in a new location.

  3. Geomorphologists • Scientists who study erosion on the earth’s surface.

  4. Types of Erosion • Water- rivers • Wind- sand dunes • Ice- Glaciers

  5. Rate of Erosion • Amount of Rainfall- More rainfall/more erosion • Shape of the land- Higher the slope the greater the erosion. • Type of Surface- The texture, structure, water retention capability, etc. • Amount of plant growth- more plants/less erosion

  6. Erosion vs Weathering
