nababasag into small pieces

A

disintegration

disaggregation
26
combining is
aggregation
27
those rock particles get carried away by wind, water, ice and gravity
Erosion
28
agents of erosion
• Water • Wind • Ice • Gravity
29
changes the shape of coastlines. Waves constantly crash against shores. They pound rocks into pebbles and reduce pebbles to sand. It sometimes takes sand away from beaches. This moves the coastline farther inland.
erosion by water
30
carries dust, sand, and volcanic ash from one place to another. Wind can sometimes blow sand into towering dunes.
Erosion by wind
31
can erode the land. In frigid areas and on some mountaintops, glaciers move slowly downhill and across the land. As they move, they pick up everything in their path, from tiny grains of sand to huge boulders.
Erosion by ice
32
it pulls any loose bits down the side of a hill or mountain. it is better known as Mass Movement.
Gravity Erosion
33
When weathered rock remains in place and remains in its pure state.
REGOLITH
34
When weathered material is removed from the site of weathering
SEDIMENT
35
It is the main agent of erosion
MOVING WATER
36
Nowadays, people became one of the causes of erosion.
PEOPLE
37
Weathered rock material will be removed from its original site and transported away by a natural agent.
WEATHERING AND EROSION
38
rubble, trash, random material like large pieces of wood, metal or plastic
debris
39
river of flowing mud
slurry
40
an incline,like a slide or ramp
slope
41
land that is close to a coast or near water or sea levels
low-lying area
42
It is a natural process in which a material is carried to the bottom of bodies of water and forms to solid.
SEDIMENTATION
43
is the movement of rock, soil and regolith downward due to the action of gravity
Mass wasting
44
triggered by the following factors:
OVER-STEEPENED SLOPE WATER EARTHQUAKE VEGETATION REMOVAL
45
Rapid movements are commonly found in steep slopes while slow movements are found on gentle slopes.
OVER-STEEPENED SLOPE
46
adds weight and acts as a lubricant to weathered material.
WATER
47
It is a vibration and also a factor that triggers mass wasting.
EARTHQUAKE
48
The lack of vegetation cover to hold the loose particles.
VEGETATION REMOVAL
49
These are naturally occurring inorganic solids with crystalline structure, homogenous solid with chemical composition which may be fixed or vary within certain limits.
minerals

rock forming minerals
Minerologist Mineral Streak Cleavage and fracture luster
51
person who studied
mineralogist
52
study of minerals
minerology
53
measure of the density of the mineral
specific gravity
54
minerals occur in nature
naturally occurring
55
minerals have never been alive. not a by product of any living things
inorganic
56
- a mineral is made up of specific chemicals unique to that mineral.
DEFINITE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
57
- neither a liquid nor a gas.
SOLID
58
- a minerals atoms are arranged in a specific pattern unique to that mineral.
Crystalline Structure
