Answer:

Erosion

40

all 91

Σ

• the process by which wind, water, ice, or

gravity transports soil and sediment from one

location to another

The 5 Agents of Erosion and Deposition

1. Surface/running water

2. Ocean waves

3. Wind

4. Ice

5. Gravity

1. Surface/RunningWe'll actually come back to this topic in the

next unit.

• For now, this is what I want you to know:

1. Surface/Running Water

• It's the major cause

of erosion (think of

rivers and streams).

. When water moves,

it carries particles

called the load.Waves: caused by wind

Can break solid rock and

throw broken pieces against

shore

2. Ocean Waves

Rushing water enters

cracks, breaks off large

boulders, and washes

away sand.

Sand particles polish other

rocks.boulders, and washes

away sand.

Sand particles polish other

rocks.

Rocks continually break

down until they become

sand particles.
