1. EARTH’S SURFACES

2. Students will learn that volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering, and erosion reshape Earth's surface. Standard Today We are going to learn about another one of the ways that shape the Earth’s surface.

3. SCIENCE REVIEW

4. WEATHERING The breaking up of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces by a natural process

5. The loosening and carrying away of rock debris EROSION

6. DEPOSITION The collecting and placing of rocks and minerals by a gradual process

7. WIND Was the process Fast or Slow?

8. Wind Weathering The wind hits the surface of the earth and wears it away Wind Erosion The wind carries the loose soil away (rock and plants help prevent this process) Wind Deposition The wind deposits the loose soil in a new location

9. WATER Was the process Fast or Slow?

10. Water Weathering The water runs over the surface of the earth and wears it away Water Erosion The water carries the loose soil away (gravity increases – vegetation decreases) Water Deposition The water deposits the loose soil in a new location

11. WEATHERING EROSION AND DEPOSITION PLANT

12. Hypothesis – Is the weathering Fast or Slow?

13. Plant Experiment Slides

15. Week 1

16. Week 2

17. Week 3

18. Week 4

19. Plant Weathering The plant roots can grow in cracks and break apart the rock. Is this process fast or slow?
