Final Jeopardy!
Weathering, Erosion, and
Deposition
Make your bid!!
There are four main natural agents (causes) of
erosion. Name 3 of them.
You must have 3 of the following:
1. water (rainfall and rivers can carry sediment to other
places)
2. wind (wind can pick up and move small rock
material)
3. glaciers (glaciers slowly move the sediment on the
ocean floor)
4. gravity (gravity can cause mass movement)
