Weathering, Erosion and Deposition 1. Compare and contrast the following terms: a) Weathering and Erosion: b) Erosion and Deposition: c) Physical Weathering and Chemical Weathering: d) Rill erosion and Gully erosion e) Residual and Transported soil f) Erosion and Mass movement g) Continental and valley glaciers 2. Identify whether the following are examples of physical weathering, chemical weathering, erosion or deposition: a) Wind blowing sand from one location to another b) Flood water wearing down a canyon wall c) Flood water carrying canyon wall sediment downstream d) Glaciers moving rocks to the bottom of a valley e) A car rusting in an abandoned parking lot f) Delta forming at the end of the Mississippi River 3. Describe the following characteristics about physical weathering: a) Two specific types or examples b) Three factors that affect its rate c) Climate with highest rates 4. Describe the following characteristics about chemical weathering: a) Two specific types or examples b) Three factors that affect its rate 5. What are the five main causes or methods of erosion? Describe each one briefly. c) Climate with highest rates Soils 6. Outline the process of soil formation. 7. Which of the following soils is the most developed? Which is the least developed? How can you tell? 8. In the diagram label each of the four soil horizons and briefly compare and contrast each horizon: O – horizon: A – horizon: B – horizon: C – horizon: 9. Explain how the following affect soil development: Time: Climate: Topography: Biological Factors: Parent material: 10. Briefly describe how soils are classified. Mass Movements 11. What are the four factors that influence mass movement? 12. For each type of mass movement, briefly describe it and the factors that increase their chance of occurring: a) Creep b) Mudflows c) Landslides d) Slump e) Avalanches f) Rock falls 13. What are some ways that people can reduce the risk of mass movements? Glaciers 14. What specifically is a glacier? 15. Describe the formation of the following types of glacial erosion. Also identify each one on the diagram below. Cirques: Arête: Horns: Hanging valleys: 16. Compare and contrast terminal and lateral moraines. 17. Compare and contrast the following types of glacial deposition. Drumlins: Eskers: Kames: 18. Identify the glacial features labeled on the diagram to the right.
