EROSIONEROSION• Erosion= movement of sediment
by ice, wind, water, or gravity
• Is erosion constructive, destructive, or both? Why?

CAUSES of CAUSES of EROSION EROSION
Moving water in streams & rivers carries sediments along as it moves down stream.– The faster the water, the more and
the heavier material it can carry

WATER EROSION EFFECTSWATER EROSION EFFECTSKARST Landscape
Karst is an area of land that is mostly made of limestone & because of this usually has a lot of caves & sinkholes.

WATER EROSION EFFECTSWATER EROSION EFFECTSCaves are formed when rock is chemically dissolved and carried away by groundwater or underground rivers leaving “holes” in the rock.

sinkholes
Sinkholes form when the rock underneath the soil, is eroded away & the and above sinks because it is no longer supported

WATER EROSION EFFECTSWATER EROSION EFFECTSRiver valleys & canyonsare formed when fast moving rivers erode the land over long periods of time.

EROSION EFFECTSEROSION EFFECTS
Floodplains are formed over time when a river or stream overflows its regular banks and erodes the land around it.

CAUSES of EROSIONCAUSES of EROSION
• Gravity– Causes water and glaciers to move
downhill– particles (sediments, dust, soil,
etc.) carried by water and wind to settle on bottom on stream or the ground

DepositionDeposition• Deposition= build up of land through
the dropping off of sediments that are being carried by ice, wind, water or gravity
• Is deposition constructive, destructive, or both? Why?

DepositionDeposition• Deposition is constructive because it
builds up Earth’s surface

Older rivers have curves called meanders.

Constructive and Destructive Constructive and Destructive Forces ReviewForces Review
• Destructive– Forces that tear
down/wear away Earth’s surface
– Examples:• Weathering • Erosion
• Constructive– Forces that build
up Earth’s surface
– Example:• Deposition
