Erosion, Transportation, Deposition Flashcards
Name the river erosion that erodes small chunks of land.
Attrition
Name the river erosion that erodes big chunks of land.
Abrasion
Name the river erosion that erodes using the acidity of the water
Corrosion (Solution)
Name the river erosion that erodes using the force of the water.
Hydraulic force
Does the inside erode quicker than the outside?
No, the outside is quicker.
What is river erosion?
Erosion is when the river eats the land off.
What is river transportation?
Transportation is when the river moves the chunk of land that it broke off.
What is river deposition
Deposition is when the river slows down and dumps the load off.
Name the river transportation that makes stones roll along the river bed.
Traction
Name the river transportation that makes particles ‘leap frog’ across the river bed.
Saltation
Name the river transportation that carries material within the water flow.
Suspension
Name the river transportation that erodes the material in water.
Solution
What is attrition?
Attrition is when small stones of load colliding knocking pieces off each other.
What is abrasion?
Abrasion is when large pebbles rub against the bed and banks.
What is corrosion?
Corrosion is when acid in water dissolves the bed and banks.
