  1. Deposition: when an agent of erosion deposits, or lays down particles and fragments of weathered rock

  2. Horizontal Sorting: Biggest particles deposit first

  3. A bucket full of pebbles, boulders, sand, and silt are sitting at the top of a water fall, Josh comes over and kicks the bucket over into the water 30 feet below. Which particles will settle to the bottom first and why

  4. A bucket full of galena and granite are sitting at the top of a water fall all pieces are the same size. Calebcomes over and kicks the bucket over into the water 30 feet below. Which particles will settle to the bottom first and why

  5. A bucket full of pebbles, some round and some flat, are sitting at the top of a water fall. Alisha comes over and kicks the bucket over into the water 30 feet below. Which particles will settle to the bottom first and why

  6. Factors that affect the settling rate of particles

  7. A B C DWhich one shows the correct order of weathering?

  8. Which letter indicates where most erosion is occurring?

  9. Draw what the settling would look like when all three particles are dropped at the same time

  11. Characteristics of different forms of erosion

  12. Rock Fall: jagged edges, no weathering

  13. Streams:Rounded and Smooth

  14. Glaciers: U shaped valley

  15. Scratches/Striations

  16. Striations tell you which way the glacier moved

  17. Polished

  18. Unsorted and NOT layered

  19. WIND

  20. Which way is the wind and sand coming from?
