Weathering and Erosion Sort the actions into the correct column. Weathering the breaking down of rocks mountain top slowly becoming more rounded ice causing cracks in the sidewalk as it melts and freezes changing rock to sediment Both changes Earth's surface Erosion waves moving sand along the beach river carrying sediment to a new location wind blowing desert sand This rock can be found in the warm ocean waters off the coast of Australia. It has been named "Split Apple Rock". What caused this rock to split? Wind Erosion Weathering from wave action (water) Glacial Erosion Weathering from ice Landforms Connect the landform to the process of its formation. sand dune wind u-shaped valley glacier canyon flowing river delta deposition of sediment sea arch erosion by wave action Choose the best answer.A delta is made when sediments are _ at the mouth of a river. weathered eroded deposited evaporated Waves that crash against the beach contribute to the _ of the shoreline. deposition evaporation build up erosion Deposition means to _ sediment. drop erode weather move Landforms Fill in the name of each landform shown in the diagram.
