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
Rates of Weathering FAST SLOW Climate Temp & Moisture Cold/Warm & Dry Warm & Wet Rock Type Igneous & Metamorphic Sedimentary Shale/siltstone – conglomerate - limestone Sandstone  Dolostone
Rates of Weathering Climate  is the major factor that affects the rate of weathering
Rates of Weathering Due to climate and different weathering processes, landscapes develop differently. Arid  Climate – angular, sharp edges, little vegetation
Rates of Weathering Humid  Climate – soft, rounded with vegetation
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
Rates of Weathering Carpenter Falls shows differential weathering.
Rates of Weathering Niagara Falls
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
Rates of Weathering Particle Size  – As a rock breaks into smaller pieces, the  surface  area increases, and therefore the rate of weathering  increases .

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

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.

Oregon Inlet – Nags Head, NC
[object Object]
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.
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.

Folding and Faulting
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
Landscape Development The Niagara escarpment is the exposed edge of a large scale syncline (geosyncline).   = Limestone and Dolostone
Landscape Development In Ontario, the Niagara Escarpment has been formed by differential erosion.  = Limestone Hard!
Landscape Development Where rivers cross the escarpment, waterfalls may be formed  by undercutting .

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
  • 29. Rates of Weathering Humid Climate – soft, rounded with 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
  • 31. Rates of Weathering Carpenter Falls shows differential weathering.
  • 32. Rates of Weathering Niagara Falls
  • 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 .

  • 57. Deposition A delta is an example of the horizontal deposition of sediments in the water. Clay Boulders Cobbles Pebbles Evidence of Sorted Sediment
  • 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
  • 62. The bends in a stream’s channel are called meanders Erosional/Depositional Systems - Rivers
  • 63. Erosional/Depositional Systems - Rivers Arial Map View of a stream 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.

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!
  • 71.
  • 72. Erosional/Depositional Systems - Glaciers During Glaciation Post - Glaciation Holy Goodness – it’s a U shape valley!
  • 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!

  • 85.
  • 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.

  • 104. Tectonics Tectonic activity is an “earth-building” activity
  • 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
  • 107. Landscape Development The Niagara escarpment is the exposed edge of a large scale syncline (geosyncline). = Limestone and Dolostone
  • 108. Landscape Development In Ontario, the Niagara Escarpment has been formed by differential erosion. = Limestone Hard!
