- Geomorphic Processes
- Weathering
- Mechanical Weathering
- Process of breaking big rocks into little rocks. Cool nights and hot days can increase how quickly this process happens.
- Biological Weathering
- Erosion caused by animals, plants and microbes.
- Wear away or change the appearance or texture by long exposure to the atmosphere.
- Mechanical Weathering
- Mass movement
- Sliding
- A slide happens when a section of soil or rock suddenly gives way and moves down a rock.
- Slumping
- Occurs when a loosely combined section of rock moves very slowly down a slope for a short distance.
- Is the movement of surface material caused by gravity
- Sliding
- Deposition
- Deposition is the process where material that is transported by a river is deposited.
- Erosion
- The process of eroding by wind, water or other natural agents.
- Erosion - Abrasion
- Abrasion is the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles during their transport by wind, glacier, waves, gravity, running water or erosion.
- Hydraulic Action
- Hydraulic action is the erosion that occurs when the motion of water against a rock surface produces mechanical weathering.
- Attrition
- Attrition is a form of coastal or river erosion, when the bed load is eroded by itself and the bed
- Solution
- Corrosion/solution is when certain types of cliff erode as a result of weak acids in the sea
- Weathering
- Chemical Weathering
- The erosion caused by chemical reactions.

- Wear away or change the appearance or texture by long exposure to the atmosphere.
- Mechanical Weathering
- Transport
- Solution
- minerals dissolved in the water and carried along in the solution
- Suspension
- fine light material is carried along in water
- Traction
- Large rocks and boulders rolled along river bed.
- Saltation
- small pebbles and stones bounced along river bed
