4th Grade Science › Observe effects of weathering on rate of erosion
The picture below shows a process that happens when rocks and soil are moved from one place to another.
What is the name of this process?
Steven and his sister Sasha are making observations about erosion and the rate of movement of materials. They are looking at different bodies of water and how small rocks are being moved. Sasha took a piece of broken rock about 2 cm and threw it into each body of water to observe what happened. They followed the material if it moved to get a distance of travel. They recorded the data below.
What observations can be made regarding the bodies of water and distance eroded materials travel?
What does the term "erosion" mean in the context provided?? Example: Gabriel studied the process of erosion on the coast of North Carolina by comparing aerial maps and measurements over the last 100 years.
True or False: Constant strong winds could accelerate the rate of erosion.
