Earth’s Changing Surface
![Page 2: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another.
Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion.
Deposition – the dropping (depositing) of sediments as energy of motion decreases.

What is a CYCLE?› A process that repeats itself.
3 processes are constantly working on earth. As one area on earth is WEATHERED (broken
down), ERODED (carried away), sediments are DEPOSITED in another area (built up!)
Constantly changing the shape of the Earth.

Agents (the thing) that erodes the surface of the earth:
› Gravity› Running Water› Wind › Ice› Waves
Which “agent” is the most effective at erosion? › RUNNING WATER – is the major agent shaping the
surface of the Earth. Found everywhere.

Gravity – the force that moves rock and other materials DOWNHILL
Causes MASS MOVEMENTS – processes that move sediments downhill. Some types are fast, others are slow.

4 types
› Rockslides/Landslides› Mudslides› Slump› Creep

Most destructive › Rock and soil slide
QUICKLY down a slope
Common in mountainous areas, usually occur after heavy rains or earthquakes.
Forms TALUS SLOPES at bottom (pile of rocks)

Notice the scale – the size of the men to the size of the rocks
![Page 10: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Water with sediments, gravity causes the mixture to slide downhill.
Occurs in DRY AREAS AFTER heavy rains.
Enough energy and mass to destroy things in path (houses, etc.)
Deposits at bottom of hill are usually cone-shaped.

Rock and soil suddenly slips down a slope. Does not travel far.
Moves in ONE LARGE MASS! (different than landslide/rockslide)
Looks as if someone pulled the bottom out!

Sediments slowly move downhill
Often caused by freeze-thaw action.
Happens over several years.
Evidence of creep by leaning utility poles, fences, tree trunks.

![Page 21: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The most influential force in erosion is water.
Water’s ability to move materials from one location to another, along with the fact that it is found everywhere along the surface of the earth, makes it a superb tool for erosion.
![Page 22: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Water erosion begins with a splash of rain
As water from rain moves over land it carries pieces of sediment with it – this water is called RUNOFF!
Water ALWAYS flows from higher to lower elevations, i.e., it flows downhill!
![Page 23: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rivers create:› Valleys and Canyons› Waterfalls› Floodplains› Meanders › Oxbow Lakes
Rivers often START on steep mountain slopes, pick up sediments from mass movements or from runoff.
![Page 24: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Valleys (V-Shaped Valleys)› Near the source of a river, fast-flowing and
has a narrow straight course.
› Sediments along the side get carried away quickly
› Creates a deep, V-shaped valley
![Page 25: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

CANYONS› A narrow, deep, rocky, and steep-walled
valley carved by a swift-moving river.
› Its depth may be considerably greater than its width.
![Page 27: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Colorado River has eroded away the layers of sedimentary rock and formed the Grand Canyon.

Waterfalls› When water meets hard rock that is not
easily worn away, it continues to flow downstream to softer rock and wears the soft rock away!

Flood plain› Flat land next to a river or a stream› As rivers flow along less steep land, they
spread out› During a flood, this is where all of the
excess water goes!

Meander› A loop—like bend in the course of a river› Sediments get pick up and dropped off
› The older a river is, the more erosion has occurred and the more and more curved it becomes

Moving water carries sediments and when the water slows down the sediments drop out and get “deposited”
Deposition BUILDS up new landforms
3 types:› Alluvial fans› Deltas› Flood plains

The end of a river; when it flows into an ocean or a lake
The water is no longer moving downhill, slows down and sediment fall to the bottom.
The landform that is built up from these deposits is a DELTA

Heavy rains or melting snow can cause rivers to rise over the edges of its bank and spread out over its “flood plain”
As the water recedes, sediments drop out
Makes fertile soil; good for crops.

Any large mass of ice that moves over land.› Valley glaciers – long, narrow snow and ice that
build up in valleys of mountains
› Continental glacier – a glacier that covers much of a continent or large island. Larger than valley glaciers
Form when snow build up year after year, pressure of the snow compresses the snow at the bottom into ice, and eventually gravity begin to pull it down the mountain.

How do glaciers change the land?
Hold the ice with paper towels. Rub the ice, sand side down, over a bar of soap.
What happens to the surface of the soap?
Record your observations, wipe up your desks.
Return the soap to the paper plates.

Major force of erosion› Plucking
Picking up of rocks since they froze to the bottom of the glaciers
› Abrasion Dragging the rocks frozen to the bottom of the

As a glacier retreats (or melts), it drops the sediments that it “plucked” up along the way – called “till”
Till – the mixture of sediments that a glacier drops on the surface
Moraine – the till deposited by the edges of a glacier› Terminal moraine – the till left behind at the
furthest location the glacier traveled.› Long Island, New York is a terminal moraine.

Kettle Lakes› Glaciers drop chunks of ice in the till› Ice melts, fills the area with water – called
a kettle – if the water stays it forms a lake› Northwest NJ, Stokes State Park – hundreds
of Kettle lakes and ponds› The Great Lakes are kettle lakes

Erratic› Rocks dropped by glaciers – very different
in shape and type from “native” rocks› Some are quite large!

Wind, by itself is the weakest agent of erosion
In areas where few plants survive to hold soil in place (i.e., deserts, beaches) wind is powerful.
The main way that wind causes erosion is by DEFLATION and ABRASION!
![Page 80: Earth’s Changing Surface. Erosion – the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Sediment – the material MOVED by erosion](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56649e8f5503460f94b93407/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Deflation – the process by which wind removes surface materials. Lifts dirt, blows it around, and drops it off somewhere else.
The stronger the wind, the larger the particle it can pick up and move.
All particles picked up by wind will eventually fall back down – may form DUNES.

Created on beaches and in deserts – when sand is dropped by wind – usually when the wind hits an obstacle.
Can be long and parallel, can be U-shaped, can be small or large and move over time.
Sand dunes constantly shift location with the wind, plants help to keep the dunes in place.
