Big Ideas
- Natural forces such as wind, water, and ice actively shape and reshape Earth's surface, resulting in the creation of various landforms.
- Understanding the processes that form landforms helps us predict and recognize changes in the environment.
Essential Questions
- How do wind, water, and ice change the surface of the Earth?
- What are the specific landforms created by the actions of wind, water, or ice?
- Why is it important to model the processes that shape Earth's surface?
- How can we recognize changes in Earth's landforms caused by natural forces?
- What evidence can we use to explain that a landform was formed by wind, water, or ice?
