Good morning!
BELL Work (5 min.)
1. Set up today’s pages (10-11)
2. Answer the question below under the “IN”
A very strong Tsunami hit the coast of Japan in March of
2011. Items such as the Harley Davidson motorcycle shown
below washed ashore thousands of miles away in Canada and
the Western United States. How does all of this relate to
what we’ve been studying in class?
OBJECTIVES & LEARNING GOALS:
GEOLOGISTS CAN:
• Use webquest and animations to simulate the
processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition that
can create a variety of landforms.
Level 4 Compare and contrast sub-surface and surface events related to the
creation of landforms and rock types.
Level 3 Describe and give examples of ways in which Earth’s surface is built up and
torn down by physical and chemical weathering, erosion, and deposition
AND recognize that there are a variety of different landforms on Earth’s
surface
Level 2 List landforms that have been produced by physical and chemical
weathering, erosion, and deposition.
Level 1 With help, I can name surface features that are produced by weathering,
erosion, and deposition

Let’s review Landforms from Friday
Strong waves cause erosion of rock as they crash ashore.
They cut holes into weak rock along the shore forming
caves, arches, and eventually stacks.
Sand is moved by the process of wind erosion. Wind
slows down and drops off the sand. This is deposition
EROSION by fast moving water carves out sections of
rock.
Rivers and streams DEPOSIT sand at the end where
water flow slows down and GRAVITY takes over.
Ocean waves DEPOSIT sand offshore. This deposited
sand can build up to form a barrier island.
CHEMICAL WEATHERING by ACID dissolves rock and
this solution is DEPOSITED when it drips underground.
ICE GLACIERS carve out wide valleys in a U shape by the
process of EROSION.
Today’s task – webquest and
simulations
 Working in
Pairs today.
 One Partner
picks up a
laptop when
row is called up.
OUT – BOTTOM OF PAGE 10.
Compare and contrast ice(frost) wedging with
underground Cave formation.
THEN, turn to the back of your notebook and add to your grade
log on the back page (see below)
