6. What is erosion

7. What is erosion
Mudslides: When the ground can’t hold hold
anymore water

8. What is erosion
Mudslides: When the ground can’t hold hold
anymore water
Erosion: When weathered Rock is moved from
one place to another
Land can be eroded 5 ways
gravity, glaciers, running water, waves,
wind

Glaciers: Large mass of slowly flowing ice

12. What is Deposition

13. What is Deposition
Deposition: Eroded materials are dropped
off in another place

14. What is Deposition
Deposition: Eroded materials are dropped
off in another place
Meanders: Gentle loops sometimes form an
rivers with slow moving water

15. What is Deposition
Deposition: Eroded materials are dropped
off in another place
Meanders: Gentle loops sometimes form an
rivers with slow moving water
Sediment: Particles of soil and rock are
carried along in the water
