Abrasion is when blows sediments around while deflation moves it and pick it up.

Deflation move stuff and abrasion blows sand grains.

Tessa L. said...

They are the changing of the Earth with erosion and breaking things down.

Abrasion blowing sand grains deflation wind picks up and moves

mckenzi A said...

well how they affect the surface of the earth well it can shap the land.

Cameron F said...

Deflation picks up small particles while Abrasion blows particles and wear it down.

Contessa F. said...

Abrasion are Sediments that have been weathered and is picked up by erosion.

Nico J. said...

Abrasion is scraping or wearing away at something, while deflation is erosion by wind of loose material from flat areas of dry uncemented sediments. Abrasion and deflation affect the Earth by weathering and eroding it.

Abrasion blows grains/stuff and Deflation moves things.

ColiBrianna J said...

The differences between abrasion and deflation is deflation doesn't break down the rocks and abrasion does.

Rachel P. said...

Abrasion and deflation are different because abrasion is when sediment scrapes rocks, and deflation is when wind blows loose sediment.

Allie H. said...

Deflation only picks up small particles of sand or other sediments and leave to bigger ones behind. Abrasion blows grains of sand and they hit rock and eventually wear it down. They affect the Earth by changeing the where the sand and other sediments are.

Abrasion is when this process that scraps or wears away rocks,

Deflation is when the action or process of deflating or being deflated.

Abrasion: the process of wearing away rock

Deflation: process of deflation of something being deflated

Abrasion: is blowing sand and hitting rocks

abrasion the process of wearing away rocks

deflection the process of erosion and weathering

Abrasion : the process of wearing any rock away.
Deflation: process of deflation of something being deflated

Becca P. said...

Abrasion is when the process wears rocks down, and Deflation is a process of erosion.

Deflation only picks up small particles of sediments and leave the bigger ones behind. Abrasion blows grains of sand and they hit rock and wear it down. they change the earth by making things bigger or smaller

Elise R. said...

Deflation is happens when the wind picks up small particles and moves them. Abrasion is when sand grains hit rocks and weather them.

Liam B said...

Abrasion is when wind blows and breaks the rock down and deflation is the clean up process.

Deanna I. said...

Abrasion is blowing sand hitting rocks and deflation is wind picking up an moves small particles.

Cadence W. said...

The difference between deflation and abrasion is that abrasion blows sand and grains then the sand and grains that it blew where away parts of rocks and deflation has moves small particles and leaveslarge particles behind.

Katherine G. said...

deflation picks up small particles and moving transporting them leaving behind large particles and abrasion blows sand grains and wear it away.

Emma M said...

Abrasion is the process of wearing a rock away and deflation is when wind picks up small particles and leaving big particles.

Gavin R. said...

Abrasion is the grains of sands hits a rock and wears it down where as , Deflation is the wind that picks up and moves particles.

Alexia S said...

Abrasion breaks down rocks wind moves it

Ethan R said...

both are using wind ones eroison the other is weathering

William brackett said...

Abrasion can change the way things look, Deflation is wind that can move stuff

Emma B said...

Deflation moves things and abrasion wears things away.

Zoe Schmaling said...

deflation moves things around and abrasion breaks it down.

Kevin o.... said...

abrasion is the process of breaking down a rock and deflation is when wind picks up an moves small particle leaving behind large particles

Grace D said...

Deflation moves things, Abrasion wears stuff away.

Brianna G said...

One thing that deflation and abrasion have in common is, they both impact the Earth's surface. One difference in abrasion and deflation is, abrasion is a type of weathering and deflation is a type of erosion.

Grace Q said...

deflation moves things to different places and abrasion wears things away .

Ariella S said...

Abrasion wears things away, and deflation moves things.

Erica C. said...


Abrasion blows sediments around and wears them down while deflation moves them and picks them up.

Macey C. said...

Abrasion is the process in which rocks are weathered and eroded. Deflation is the removal of sediments by wind.

deflation moves thing and abrasion blows thing away.

deflection moves small particals and leavs bif particals abrasion has wind that breaks down rocks

Deflations move small objects

Abrasion blows sand grains

deflation moves the surface deflation is when the wind picks up stuff from the surface

Mason R. said...

Deflation picks up small particles while Abrasion blows particles and wear it down.

Jace S. said...

Abrasion is when sand or other materials strike rock, eroding the the rock away. While Deflation transports smaller particles and leaves behind the larger ones.

Emily S. said...

Abrasion uses sand by blowing the against rocks where as Deflation also uses wind and sand but just moves it.

Cameron G said...

Deflation blows sediments and when it wears down the rock it's called abrasion.

reegant said...

wheatering and ersion.

Ethan F. said...

Deflation is when small particles are picked up by the wind, leaving larger particle behind. Abrasion is when particles blown by the wind strike a rock, slowly breaking it apart. Deflation and abrasion work in a cycle to first erode and pick up small particles, then those small particles are whipped against a rock by the wind to weather it down.
