Solution

Question 2

tell me the three Weatherings?

Answer 2

Mechanical weathering
Chemical weathering
Biological weathering

Question 3

Transportation

Answer 3

Traction
Saltation
Suspension
Solution

Question 4

Deposition

Answer 4

Definition: The dropping of sediment that has been transported by erosion.
Factors affecting deposition: Decrease in velocity, change in the volume of water, or change in slope.

Question 5

Landforms of Coastal Erosion

Answer 5

Headlands and Bays
Cliffs
Wave-cut platforms
Caves, arches, and stacks

Question 6

Factors Influencing Coastal Erosion

Answer 6

Wave energy
Geological structure
Human activities
Sea level change

Question 7

Factors Influencing Coastal Deposition

Answer 7

Sediment supply
Wave energy
Changes in sea level
Human activities

Question 8

what does the different erosions do?

Answer 8

Hydraulic action - water hits into rock and can compress air into cracks in rocks and break rocks.
Abrasion - rocks being carried by water and hit against rocks to break them down.
Attrition - rocks get carried by water and hit each other breaking them down and making them smother
Solution - rocks being dissolved into water

Question 9

what does the different Transportation do?

Answer 9

Traction: rolling or dragging of larg objects
Saltation: movement of small objects bouncing or leaping
Suspension: sedement is carried away and doesn’t touch the bottom
Solution: sedement is carried in water with out being visable

Question 10

what does the different Weathering do?

Answer 10

Mechanical Weathering:
the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments without changing their chemical composition.
Chemical Weathering:
involves the alteration of the mineral composition of rocks through chemical reactions with agents like water, oxygen, and acids.
Biological Weathering:
Biological weathering involves the breakdown of rocks by living organisms or their activities. (plats roots)
