Earth Science Rocks!
• Standard: Investigate the scientific view of how the Earth’s surface is formed.
• Learning Target: Today I am learning about erosion by ice and wind because I will know how to protect my mountain house or beach house.

Erosion by Ice
• A glacier is a huge mass of ice and snow that moves over land. It erodes and deposits large amounts of rock material.
• p. 352-356
![Page 11: Earth Science Rocks! Warm up October 23](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681610c550346895dd05af9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How glaciers form
• Glaciers form in very cold areas. The snow piles up year after year.
• Over time, the weight of the snow packs the snow and forms a giant mass of ice.
• Gravity causes them to flow slowly like a “river of ice”
![Page 12: Earth Science Rocks! Warm up October 23](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681610c550346895dd05af9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on the planet, storing an estimated 75 percent
of the world’s supply

A glacier can range in length from the equivalent of a football field to more than 100 miles.

The Antarctic ice sheet is actually a glacier. If it were to melt, sea levels would rise 210
feet

Though it sits on the equator, Mount Kilimanjaro is glaciated

• A single glacier ice crystal can grow to be as large as a baseball

Mountain valleys are typically “V” shaped before being taken oven by a glacier; during glaciation, the valley
widens and deepens and becomes “U” shaped.

Alaska is estimated to have more than 100,000 glaciers. Most remain unnamed.

Erosion by Wind
• Wind carries and deposits sediment. Deserts, coastlines, and areas with little plant coverage are the most affected by wind erosion.
• p. 350-351

Barchan dunes of the Namib Desert
Crescent shaped dunes formed from a unidirectional (one-direction) wind.

Ripple marks are miniature dunes within a dune (not more than 2 inches tall). Formed by cross winds and appear to be traveling in a different direction than the large dune.

Formed in arid environments when wind carries finer, more lightweight particles such as sand away. Large particles are left behind and protect from further erosion

Base of a rock is weathered and eroded more quickly due to sand blasting.
Sand grains can only be picked up a couple of feet.
