| erosion | the process by which weathered rock and soil are moved from one place to another. |
| mechanical weathering | when larer rocks are broken down int smaller peices without changing the chemical make-up. |
| chemical weathering | when the chemical make-up of the rock is changed. |
| temperature | as a rock heats up and cools down due to temperature changes, it expands and contracts. over time this causes particles of rock to flake off. This type of breaking off is called exfoliation. |
| wind | the most active agent of of erosion in deserts, plowed fields and beaches. |
| running water | One major cause of erosion |
| drainage basin | The total area drained all rivers in an area |
| frost action | water gets into a crack of a rock and freezes and causing it to expand and break the rock |
