Essential Question : What are the characteristics of weathering and how does weathering differ from erosion? (S6E5f)
GPS: S6E5 : Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed. [5.f: Explain the effects of physical processes (plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, volcanic eruption, gravity) on geological features including oceans (composition, currents, and tides).]
Activation: ?
Activities: Topic – Weathering
1. Complete activation activity.
2. Vocabulary – Weathering, Mechanical weathering,Chemical weathering, Frost wedging, Erosion, River, Stream, Channel
Deposition, Graded bedding, Direction of younging, Cross bedding, Mast wasting, Landslide, Rockfall, Mudflow,
