Erosion due to Gravity
Erosion due to Gravity Teacherflix 11 Views • 1 year ago

Although you may not see it, gravity is a force of erosion. Gravity not only influences the movement of water, but it also causes rocks and soil to move downward. This downward movement caused by gravity called mass movement plays a major role in shaping the Earth.

Sand, rocks, and soil will move downhill until the slope becomes stable. The angle of repose is the steepest angle at which loose material will not slide downward. The angle of repose may change based on the size, weight, shape, and moisture level of the objects which may cause rock falls or landslides.

The most destructive mass movement happens suddenly and rapidly.

A rockfall happens when loose rock fall down a steep slope. This steep slope may be manmade when creating a rode or created by nature.
Rocks that range in size from small fragments to large boulders fall down the slope due to gravity.

A landslide is the sudden and rapid movement of a large amount of material downward. A slump is the most common landslide and happens when a block of material moves downward over a curved surface.

A rapid movement of a large mass of mud is a mudflow. When heavy rain mixes with soil and rock a slippery mass of mud may be created that can flow rapidly downhill.

Mudflows as a result of a volcano are called Lahars. Volcanic eruptions or heavy rains on volcanic ash can cause a Lahar that may travel up to 80km an hour.
Sometimes the mass movement is very slow. This is called creep. Water loosens the soil on a steep slope, Plant Roots and animals loosen the soil which slowly moves downhill. Bent tree trunks may be evidence that creep is occurring.

Element vs Compound

Element vs Compound
An element is a pure substance. In other words, an element cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by physical or chemical means.An element is made up of only one type of atom. An atom consists of a proton, neutron, and an electron. Some common examples of an element would be carbon, oxygen, or iron. The elements are arranged in the periodic table based on their number of protons. For example, sodium has 11 protons, potassium has 19
The number of protons of elements always stays the same.
Each element also has its own unique set of properties.

A compound is a pure substance of two or more elements chemically combined. Elements combine during a chemical change. A particle of a compound is called a molecule.
When the elements combine chemically a new substance is created.
The compound has different properties than the elements that make it
Hydrogen and oxygen are gases but they combine to make liquid water.
Here are some items that combine to make compounds
Table salt is sodium and chlorine
Glucose is made of carbon-hydrogen-oxygen
When elements create a compound they always join in a specific ratio
The ratio of water is hydrogen to oxygen is 2 to 1
If a compound has a different ratio of hydrogen to oxygen then it is not water
Glucose a type of sugar has a ratio of c6 h12 o6 which is 6 carbons 12 hydrogens and 6 oxygens
Glucose will always have this same ratio
Compounds are all around you
In the food you eat, the school supplies you use, your clothes and even you
