Physical Chemical Caves/Karst Clay Dissolved minerals (hard water) Abrasion – smooth & rounded The WEDGE Exfoliation Climate Rock Type Exposure Particle Size Time Key Vocabulary Concept Map Results in: Sediments (ESRT pg 6) Dissolved Minerals Soil (pg 6 & 7 ) Erosion (pg 8 ) Weathering 4 things that help: My Definition of Weathering Water
26. Rates of Weathering FAST SLOW Climate Temp & Moisture Cold/Warm & Dry Warm & Wet Rock Type Igneous & Metamorphic Sedimentary Shale/siltstone – conglomerate - limestone Sandstone Dolostone
27. Rates of Weathering Climate is the major factor that affects the rate of weathering
28. Rates of Weathering Due to climate and different weathering processes, landscapes develop differently. Arid Climate – angular, sharp edges, little vegetation
30. Rock Types – cause softer, less resistant rocks to wear away , leaving harder, more resistant rocks behind. Limestone (A) is most resistant Shale (B) is least resistant Rates of Weathering
33. Rates of Weathering FAST SLOW Exposure And TIME Underground/lesstime Above Ground Particle Size Or Surface Area Large size or less surface area Small size or more surface area
34. Rates of Weathering Particle Size – As a rock breaks into smaller pieces, the surface area increases, and therefore the rate of weathering increases .
59. Deposition Factors affecting Deposition: SIZE Velocity Shape Gradient Density Discharge Water Deposits Well sorted, round, smooth, graded bedding Vertical Sorting – mixed particles in order of big, medium, small due to changes in velocity Horizontal Sorting – Occurs when a stream enters a large body of water &loses velocity The settling or dropping of particles after being picked up by an agent of erosion Back to 50
60. Erosional/Depostional Systems RIVERS YOUNG OLD MATURE V shaped valley Fast Steep Straight Rapids & Waterfalls Medium slope Slight curves Medium speed Narrow floodplain Small rapids Flat Slow Lots of meanders Straight Wide floodplain & Channel
64. Erosional/Depositional Systems - Rivers At the outside of the curve, the stream velocity increases , therefore erosion occurs. At the inside of the curve, the stream velocity decreases , therefore deposition occurs.
70. Erosional/Depositional Systems - Glaciers Continental Glacier GLACIERS Features: Alpine Glacier Unsorted, loose deposits Ground up rock flour or glacial till Moraines U-shape Valleys Kettle lakes, drumlins, outwash plains Erratics – large boulders that don’t match the natural bedrock Moved from the north (pole) to the south Move downhill!
73. The Work of Waves The most important agent shaping coastal landforms is wave action. And WHY do you need to know this? – because Long Island is in NYS!
86. During these times the beach tends to erode more and the sand is carried back into the ocean. There it is usually deposited as underwater bars parallel to the shore.
87. If these sand bars rise above the average sea level winds will help to pile up sediment. When vegetation begins to grow and stabilize the offshore sediment pile, a barrier island is created.

106. Folding and Faulting Folding is the process that bends and twists rocks, usually due to compression Faulting is the process where rocks move past each other along a fracture 82
