- Where might you see moving water?Oceans have waves that move. Rivers have water that flows from place to place. At home you might see moving water in the sink or shower.
- Where might you see the wind move things?If you look at the trees you can see the wind moving the leaves. If you stand outside on a windy day, you might see the wind moving loose objects l...
- How can the land change over time?Land can change from natural disasters, humans changing it, water and wind can change land as well through a process called erosion.
- How could wind or water change the land around you?Wind could blow the soil around or water from the rain could carry the soil downhill.
- What happens at the beach when water meets the land?Waves move the sand around on the beach. The waves also crush shells making them into tiny pieces that look like sand.
- What happens when wind moves fast over the land?Wind can move sand, dry soil or dust. Strong winds can carry heavier things.
- How can wind change the shape of the land?Wind can carry soil across a distance, such as sand dunes forming or being blown away. This is called wind erosion.
- How can water change the shape of the land?Water can carry tiny pieces of the Earth’s surface downstream, like how the Grand Canyon was formed by the flowing water of the Colorado River.
- What are some examples of erosion?Wind breaking down rocks and carrying the particles away is an example of erosion. You can also see how over time a river carries soil downstream a...
- How was the Grand Canyon formed?Flowing water carved into the rock and carried the particles downstream. Over a long time, the river carved deeper and deeper and the Grand Canyon...
Weathering and erosion. Water, a powerful force, shapes our world through weathering and erosion. Rain dislodges soil particles, leading to mechanical weathering. As water accumulates, it moves soil and rock particles, causing erosion. Fast-moving water erodes more than slow water, creating landscapes like meandering rivers and Oxbow lakes.

- Are there actually snakes there? in Snake River.🤔I'm not sure. Probably. Western diamondback rattlesnakes can be found in the Snake River.
- What is the difference between erosion and deposition? (I apologize if I spelled that wrong!)Erosion is the process of soil, rock, and other materials being carried away by natural agents like wind, water, and ice. Deposition is the process...
- How long does it take to make the grand canyinI think you meant the Grand Canyon. It is around 5 to 6 million years old. But determining its age has a lot of factors to it and others believe it...
- What if erosion stopped happening?it would go boom
- So, Hopewell rocks were created by Erosion and Weathering?no absolutely not they were created my magma and lava
