Rapid earth changes
Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) or slowly (erosion, mountain building)
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.

Can your child give examples of things that change the Earth quickly, like an earthquake, and things that change it very slowly, like a river carving a valley?
