Understanding Erosion Forces: Mass Movements and Beyond

Explore the dynamics of erosion through mass movements, running water, glaciers, and wind. Understand how gravity triggers mass movements, such as slumps, creeps, rock slides, and mud flows. Summarize key concepts and act on preserving our environment.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Erosion Jodi Knoebel

  2. Topics of Discussion • Mass movements • Running water • Glaciers • wind

  3. Mass Movements • Caused from gravity • Occur on steep slopes • Increase with rain flow

  4. Slump • Steep slopes • Material underneath has weakened

  5. Creep • Small sediments are pushed up during freezing and slide down when thaw

  6. Rock Slides • Large blocks of rock break loose from steep slopes

  7. Mud Flows • Add a strong statement that summarizes how you feel or think about this topic • Summarize key points you want your audience to remember

  8. Next Steps • Summarize any actions required of your audience • Summarize any follow up action items required of you
