In integrated we are learning about how nature and humans are impacting our environment.

Weathering, erosion and deposition are processes of breaking down and moving things.

Most people think that erosion is the breaking down of something but it is actually weathering.

Erosion is the moving by wind or rain of something. Deposition is where it ends up.

4T went on a walk around our school and found these examples:

This is an example of deposition. The soil, leaves and tanbark have ended up in the gutter.

This is an example of weathering. The water has over time weathered  the grass away.

Can you see any weathering, erosion or deposition? If you can tell me, if not just type what you think could be erosion or weathering.
