Warm Up Explain the difference between physical and chemical weathering. List and describe the 3 types of physical/mechanical weathering. In what type of environment does chemical weathering occur the fastest? If you increase the surface area of an object, what will happen to the rate of weathering? **Set up Cornell Notes on pg 15 (1st & 3rd Block)** **Set up Cornell Notes on pg 17 (2nd Block)**

Activating Strategy Imagine you lived in this house on the edge of a cliff What would some concerns be about living there? What potential dangers might you face? Explain how these dangers may occur.

Daily Objective & LEQ SWBAT compare erosion by water, wind, ice, and gravity and the effect on various landforms LEQ: What is erosion, the four factors that cause it, and the effect it has on various landforms? Key Terms: erosion, deposition, gravity

Uganda

Facts about Uganda Capital: Kampala Climate: Tropical Population: 32.7 million Languages: English & Swahili (official); numerous other local tribal languages Education: 56% finish Primary school; 74% literate Life expectancy: 52.7 years old http://vimeo.com/5438151

Landslide Kills at Least 29 A landslide killed at least 29 people on Monday, August 30, 2011 in an eastern district of Uganda, including children buried in their homes, officials said. The bodies of 6 children and 13 others had been found, the Red Cross said, and the government said it had sent crews to help recover any remaining victims. The landslides occurred after heavy rainfall in the Bulambuli district, 167 miles east of Kampala

Erosion: A Destructive Natural Force Unit 2, Lesson 4

Erosion Lab! It’s time for us to build our dream communities! But, be careful because you never know what natural forces could cause erosion in your communities!

Lab Materials & Directions Groups of 2: Design a community on page 14 (1st and 3rd Block) and 16 (2nd Block); Your materials include: 5 graham crackers, ½ cup frosting, 10 toothpicks. Expect a variety of weather to come your way You have 5 minutes to design your community. Once the 5 minutes is up, we will vote which community we will build as a class! The winning community receives a prize! 3 Rounds (We will have one minute to re-build after each Round of Weather)

What is Erosion? The transportation of material by wind, water, ice, or gravity on the Earth’s surface.

How does erosion differ from weathering? Weathering BREAKS DOWN the Earth’s material into sediments. Erosion TRANSPORTS the sediments to a new location.

After the material is eroded, where does it go? Deposition is the process by which sediments are dropped in a new location, building up and creating a new landform over time.

What is the difference between erosion and deposition? Erosion transports materials from place to place. Deposition drops sediments and builds new landforms.

What is the primary cause of erosion? Running water is the primary cause of erosion all over the world, primarily due to water flowing over the land as runoff or hitting coasts and beaches.

How does Water cause erosion? Stream Erosion: Water in a moving stream picks us sediments from the bottom/sides of its channel. Gullies form on hillsides when run-off cuts into the soil. They resemble large ditches or small valleys.

How did the Grand Canyon form? The Grand Canyon took 3-6 million years to form Millions of years ago, the Colorado River flowed slowly across a broad flat area in present day Arizona. Over time, the Grand Canyon was carved into the Earth through erosion by the Colorado River.

How does Gravity cause erosion? Mass Wasting: the movement of rocks and sediments downhill because of gravity. Slump: downward movement of material along a curved surface. Creep: slow downward movement of sediments

What is the most active agent of erosion in deserts? Wind is the most active agent of erosion in deserts, in plowed fields, and on beaches.

How does Wind cause erosion? Deflation is the lifting and removal of loose particles such as clay and silt, resulting in the lowering of the land surface Sand dunes form as a result of wind erosion in the desert

How does Ice cause erosion? Glaciers are huge masses of moving ice that erode by mainly two different processes: Abrasion: glacial ice and rock fragments smooth and polish the bedrock surface like sandpaper. Plucking: rock breaks up beneath the glacier when the melted water gets into the cracks and refreezes (*like frost wedging). The broken fragments are picked up and incorporated into the glacier.

Erosion can occur because of… Wind Water Ice Gravity

Where can erosion be seen in real life? The entire river basin in Louisiana is the product of sediment deposition from the Mississippi River following the latest rise in sea level about 5,000 years ago.

Extension Activity With your partner create a diagram or graphic organizer that shows how weathering, erosion, and deposition form a continuous cycle that builds-up and breaks down the land over time? You must also write at least 6 sentences to describe and support your diagram. (Develop a diagram or picture to show this and support your answer)

Weathering/Erosion Worksheet! Work independently for 8 minutes on the weathering erosion worksheet. Once the 8 minutes is up, I will allow 2 minutes for you to talk to your partner to check your answers before I collect the assignment!!

Quick Check! What are the 4 types of erosion? Name one example for each four types.

Warm Up! (*Your warm-up/exit ticket paper is due today for a quiz grade!!*) Make sure dates are written and your name!) What is the major role of erosion? What are the major differences between each type of erosion. The Grand Canyon was formed by which type of erosion?
