- What is erosion? Where can erosion be observed? (Erosion is the process of earth materials being moved elsewhere. It can be observed on a huge scale when looking at the Grand Canyon, and on a small scale after the rain washes away soil from a garden or yard.)
- What is deposition? (It is the process of earth materials landing elsewhere, such as in a delta).

in Science Class . . . Weeks of 3/5 and 3/14
Last week, students learned about the process of erosion. We discussed formation of valleys such as the Grand Canyon, and used containers of clay and sand to view erosion occurring with water. Students also reviewed the rock cycle. This week, we will focus on the process of deposition, where materials that have been eroded land elsewhere.
