Identifying & Explaining Weathering, Erosion & Deposition

Overview:

A worksheet where students study images of weathering, erosion, and deposition and explain the processes involved. They also list the factors that might contribute to each process. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition in real-world examples.
• Explain the factors that contribute to each process.
• Develop critical thinking by analysing visual examples of environmental changes.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with a series of pictures depicting examples of weathering, erosion, and deposition. For each picture, they are asked to explain what process or processes have occurred, providing a detailed description. They will also list the factors that may have contributed to the occurrence of each process, such as wind, water, temperature changes, or human activities. This encourages students to apply their knowledge of earth science concepts to visual evidence and make connections to real-life scenarios.
