Name:____________________ Period:_______ Erosion-Deposition Review 1. Soils developed from material different from the bedrock are known as _____________soils, while those developing on top of their parent bedrock are _____________ soils. 2. True or False. Transported soils are more common than residual soils. 3. The natural process of rock transportation is called _____________ . 4. The driving force of erosion is _____________ and can also act as an _____________ of erosion. 5. As a rock erodes downward, it loses _____________ energy. 6. An object will move down a slope when the force down the incline is _____________ (greater than, less than, equal to) the resisting force of friction. 7. A sudden rush of rocks and soils down a slope is called a _____________ or a _____________ . 8. A landslide may be caused when friction is _____________ by moisture. 9. When a soil moves imperceptibly slow down a hill, causing fence posts to lean down a hill is called _____________ . 10. The dominant agent of erosion on the Earth is ____________ . 11. Any process that causes a rock to crack or break into pieces is called _____________ . 12. Name three types of physical weathering: _____________ _____________ _____________ 13. The effects of repeated freezing and thawing of water is called _____________ . 14. True or False. Expansion and contraction of water is sufficient to cause rocks to crack. 15. Most materials will _____________ when freezing, while an unusual feature of water is that it will _____________ when freezing. 16. When ice within a crack melts and the crack is again filled with water that freezes, the crack is made _____________ and, over a period of time, will cause the rock to _____________ along the crack. 17. True or False. The effects of frost action are most noticeable in places where the temperature usually stays below the freezing point of water. 18. Pieces of rock fragments weathered off of rocks is called _____________. 19. True or False. The deeper a rock is, the more it will be affected by weathering. 20. True or False. Roots growing into rocks can exert enough pressure to crack the rocks. 21. A common example of _____________ is rust. 22. The weathering rate of rocks is proportional to their size. 23. The layer of soil with the most organic material is the _____________ -Horizon. 24. Sediments that have been transported by running water will typically be: _____________ _____________ _____________ 25. Stream discharge is also known as _____________ . 26. A steeper gradient will _____________ the velocity of a steream. 27. A steeper gradient will _____________ the volume of the stream. 28. The outside of a curve will have the _____________ -est flowing water. 29. Sediments transported by wind will have a "frosty" appearance because of _____________ in the surface 30. A boulder moved by a glacier is called _____________ . 31. A sudden drop in stream velocity will deposit sediments in a pattern called _____________ . 32. A gradual slowing of stream velocity will deposit sediments in a pattern called _____________ . 33. Flattest materials get deposited _____________ . 34. Densest materials get deposited_____________ . 35. When a stream has a balance between erosion and deposition, it has reached _____________ _____________ . 36. The cone-shaped deposit at the end of a stream is a _____________ .
