Erosion and Deposition
Erosion wears away surface materials and moves them from one location to another.
Agents of erosion are: gravity, glaciers, wind, and water.
Deposition is the dropping of sediments.

Erosion and Deposition by Gravity Mass Movement: when gravity alone
causes materials to move down-slope. Slump Creep Rockslide Mudflow

Slump
A mass movement that happens when loose materials or rock layers slip down a slope.
Happen most frequently after earthquakes or heavy rain

Creep
Sediments slowly inch their way down a hill.
Common in areas of freezing and thawing.

Rockslide
Large blocks of rock break loose from a steep slope and start tumbling.
Happen most often after earthquakes or heavy rain, but can happen at anytime without warning.

Mudflows
A thick mixture of sediments and water flowing down a slope.
Happen in dry areas where sediments have accumulated and heavy rain begins to fall.

Glaciers A moving mass of ice. Continental and Valley Continental glaciers cover large
amounts of land. Valley glaciers are found in high
mountains where average temperatures keep the ice and snow from melting in the summer.

Valley Glaciers
As the ice moves it pushes loose materials out of its path.
Plucking is when boulders, gavel, and sand are added to the bottom of the glacial ice.
The glacier leaves behind distinctive features: arete, cirque, striations, moraines, U-shaped vallies. Fig 7-12

Glacial Deposition
Till- a mixture of different sized sediments dropped from a glacier.

Wind
Deflation, is the removal of finer particles by the wind. Sand, silt, and clay are blown away leaving larger size particles behind.
Abrasion, is the wearing of other rocks by the wind carried particles such as sand.

Sand and Dust Storms
Sand storms occur in the desert and at the beach.
Dust storms occur when very dry soil is blow away by the wind.

Windbreaks made of plants prevent reduces the wind energy.
Roots help hold soil together.

Dunes
A mound of sand drifted by the wind. Dunes are constantly moving, one sand
grain at a time. Fig. 7-21, p. 195, illustrates the
migration of a dune.
