The iron in rocks reacts with the oxygen in the air; oxidation ensues. Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule.]]> 2018-03-15 16:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242469193 tanner_pencek24 https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242476130 Chemical weathering can also come as a result of acid.When carbon dioxide reacts with water, carbonic acid is formed.

Streams and rivers wear away their banks and waves are constantly slamming coastlines around the world. Due to the constant erosion of the coastline, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was moved inland to prevent damage from the waves to the structure. It is located in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.]]> 2018-03-16 00:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638260 tanner_pencek24 https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638335 Wind is also a major factor in erosion's process. Wind can blast against rocks and carry that sediment for miles in the air. Arches National Park, located in Utah, gets its name from the meticulous arches of rock carved by wind over thousands of years. Another desert area, the Gobi Desert, is home to many sand dunes, built up over 1,300 feet high. Over thousands of years, wind has carried sand and other sediments to their current resting place. ]]> 2018-03-16 00:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638335 tanner_pencek24 https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638351 From the same site, some specific examples of erosion.]]> 2018-03-16 00:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638351 tanner_pencek24 https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638362 As with erosion, water is a major factor in deposition. As streams flow, they pick up rocks and sediment as mentioned previously. They streams continue on and eventually dump these new minerals in a different place. ]]> 2018-03-16 00:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638362 tanner_pencek24 https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638385 Wind also plays a large factor in deposition. Sand and dust from the Sahara Desert can be tracked to the coasts of Brazil, winds carrying the material thousands of miles over ocean and land. In the Great Sand Dunes National Park located in Colorado, dust and sand from dried up lakes blew in between two mountains and formed small dunes. As the sand continued to blow, the dunes continued to grow. Eventually they reached very high peaks and today are the highest sand dune in the United States; all thanks to deposition. ]]> 2018-03-16 00:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638385 tanner_pencek24 https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638411 Explore this website to find examples of deposition and learn all about it.]]> 2018-03-16 00:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242638411 tanner_pencek24 https://padlet.com/tanner_pencek24/6b7bhw91e7wy/wish/242646702 Glacial movements can also cause erosion. As the large blocks of ice move, they scrape off sediment and rocks from the walls surrounding them.
