Natural Processes Affect the Earth
MAIN IDEA: EARTH’S OCEANS AND LAND CAN BE AFFECTED IN
CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WAYS BY NATURAL PROCESSES.

Ways Earth Can be Affected
Constructive (processes that CREATE
landforms)
Destructive(processes that DESTROY
landforms)

Natural Process
Weathering• Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks at or near the surface of the earth.• This makes the surface of the earth dissolve, decompose, and break into smaller pieces.
• Water is an important cause of weathering.
• Plants cause weathering when roots break apart rock..
• Weathering can be either physical or chemical.
• Changes in temperature can break rock (even ice forming inside cracks).

Natural Process
Erosion•Erosion is the movement of sediments and soil by:
• Wind
• Water
• Ice
• and gravity
![Page 8: Landforms and Oceans Unit](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816662550346895dd9f123/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Natural Process
Deposition• Deposition is the dropping (or depositing) of sediments by water, wind, or ice.• Deposition builds up new land on Earth’s surface (such as a pile up of sand dune in the desert)
• Shells on the beach are deposition by ocean waves.

Natural Process
Landslides• Landslides are mass (very large) movements of land due to gravity.
• They can cause buildings to fall, or power and gas lines to break.
• Landslides even occur on the continental slope in the ocean!

Natural Process Volcanic Eruptions
• Volcanoes are mountains with openings in Earth’s crust through which
• Magma• Gases
• and ash reach Earth’s surface.• Volcanoes can change Earth’s surface.• When magma erupts from the volcano the op of the mountain can be changed (either built up or exploded off).• The lava and ash can destroy forests and bury fields.
• Volcanic eruptions can even change Earths’ weather patterns. • Eruptions also occur under the oceans – when they are built up, they are call seamounts.

Natural Process
Floods• Foods occur when a large amount of water covers land that is usually dry.
• Rapid erosion can take place and move soil and sediments away.
• When the flood recedes, new sediment is left behind and can build up rich soil deposits.
