"Where did all my soil go? And why is it over there?"

Take a look at these pictures. Over time, these landforms were created and weathered by ocean waves, rain, plant roots, glaciers, rivers, acid rain and wind. Can you figure what is effecting each picture?

Let's watch a quick video about weathering, erosion and deposition.

When something is weathered, that means it's being broken down into little pieces, like when you chew a piece of candy! When sediments are eroded, they are moving to a new place, like when you swallow the piece it candy and it moves down your throat and into your stomach. When sediments are deposited, they land in a new place and can start making a new landform, sort of like when your candy drops into your stomach and stops moving.

Let's watch how frozen water can make a rock break!

How do rivers and glaciers change the surface of the earth? Think about what you modeled in the lab today.
