What is weathering?
Erosion
$100
Answer:
This is the downhill
movement of rock
and soil due to
gravity.
• What is mass
movement?
Erosion
$200
Answer:
This is the movement
of wet soil downhill
due to gravity.
• What are
mudslides?
Erosion
$300
Answer:
This is the downhill

What are
landslides?
Erosion
$400
Answer:
This occurs when soil

Final Jeopardy!
Weathering, Erosion, and
Deposition
Make your bid!!
There are four main natural agents (causes) of
erosion. Name 3 of them.
You must have 3 of the following:
1. water (rainfall and rivers can carry sediment to other
places)
2. wind (wind can pick up and move small rock
material)
3. glaciers (glaciers slowly move the sediment on the
ocean floor)
4. gravity (gravity can cause mass movement)
