Minerals and Rockas Part 6

TermDefinition
Mass Movement The pulling of rock and sediment downhill by the force of gravity (Unsorted, Angular Fragments which come out of avalances, landslides, and mudslides)
Gravity The force of attraction where objects fall towards the center of the Earth
Friction The rubbing of one object against another (rain weakens the force of friction gravity then pulls rock and sediment down a slope)
Wind Air that is moving horizontally (wind picks up loose sediment such as sand and silts and carries them to a new location
Deflation Wind readily blows away loose sediment lowering the land surface until there is no more loose sediment to erode
Abrasion Wind picks up and blows smaller sediment against another surface wearing it down
