Check understanding
- Define weathering (breaking down of rock in place) and erosion (movement of broken rock/soil)
- Describe the effects of at least three agents of weathering/erosion: water, ice, wind, vegetation
- Provide evidence from observations showing how weathering or erosion has changed a landscape
“Can your child look at a crumbling cliff or a river bank and explain how water, wind, or ice has slowly worn away the rock or soil over time?”
