Loc: Mexico: Climate and Environment
This site has detailed information on the climate and environment of Mexico. It discusses environmental problems such as flooding, erosion, and soil destruction as well.
Scholastic
Scholastic: Study Jams! Science: Weathering & Erosion
A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of weathering and erosion, what they are, and how they alter the Earth's surface.
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Rain Erosion: Does the Rate of Water Effect Erosion?
For this lab, students investigate whether the rate of water falling (rain) affects the amount of erosion (soil movement). This experiment could lead to further questions: how does grass or rocks effect soil erosion, does erosion lead to...
