GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Rocks being made smooth by tumbling across a streambed. Ponds filling up with sediment and becoming marshes. the process by which natural forces (water, ice, wind, or gravity) moves weathered rock and soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -weathering. rocks being made smooth by tumbling across a streambed. erosion. mudslide flowing down a steep hill. deposition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glaciers cause weathering through freeze-thaw weathering. This is when the snow melts and water goes into the cracks of the rocks. This then freezes and the water in the crack expands creating the crack to become bigger. The process is repeated eventually breaking the rock.

Detailed explanation-4: -Erosion – the process where the sediments are transported by wind, gravity, glaciers, man, and running water. Deposition – the process whereby these sediments are released by their transporting agents (dropped).

Detailed explanation-5: -Erosion is the opposite of deposition, the geological process in which earthen materials are deposited, or built up, on a landform. Most erosion is performed by liquid water, wind, or ice (usually in the form of a glacier). If the wind is dusty, or water or glacial ice is muddy, erosion is taking place.
