Big Ideas
- Earth's surface is continuously shaped and changed by natural processes over time.
- Weathering, erosion, and deposition are key processes that slowly transform the landforms we see.
Essential Questions
- What are weathering, erosion, and deposition, and how are they different from each other?
- How do water, wind, and ice contribute to changing Earth's surface?
- Why do some changes to the Earth's surface happen slowly, and what evidence can we observe?
- How do models help us understand the processes that shape the Earth's surface?
- In what ways do weathering, erosion, and deposition affect the environment around us?
