Part 2: Cut out each square below and place
it in the box under the correct heading. Once
under the correct heading, paste the
characteristic onto your paper. Use the
definitions below to help with sorting.
WeatheringThe natural process of
rock and soil material being worn away.
ErosionThe process of moving
rocks and soil downhill or into streams,
rivers, or oceans.
DepositionThe accumulation or

Part 2: Cut out each square below and place it in the box under the correct heading. Once under the correct heading, paste the characteristic onto your paper. Use the definitions below to help with sorting. - **Weathering** – The natural process of rock and soil material being worn away. - **Erosion** – The process of moving rocks and soil downhill or into streams, rivers, or oceans. - **Deposition** – The accumulation or laying down of matter by a natural process, as in the laying down of sediments in streams or rivers. ### A. A mudslide flowing down a steep hill ### B. Water getting into cracks, freezing, and breaking the rocks apart ### C. Wind blowing sand from one location to another ### D. Waves dropping sand on the beach ### E. Flood water pounding against a canyon wall and wearing it down ### F. Glaciers scraping rocks across the earth’s surface ### G. Muddy water being carried away by a fast-moving river ### H. Landforms called deltas that form where rivers flow into other bodies of water such as a sea ### I. Glaciers that drop rock, sand, and other debris forming landforms called moraines ### J. Layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean ### K. Wind blowing rocks together forming smaller rocks ### L. Rain washing away soil from a hillside
