View videos and photos from the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew and see how the earth's landforms changed as a result of the heavy winds and rain. Weathering and erosion made a new landform and dramatically changed the coastline....

A quick overview of the processes of weathering and erosion which shape Earth's surface.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Summarizes the key points about the six types of erosion and deposition that create Earth's landforms. Includes a few questions to check for understanding.

Fourth graders explore the erosive effects of waves, streams, glaciers, and wind.

Learn the basics of the process of weathering.

This lesson introduces and describes the main types of erosion (i.e., chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students learn examples of each type of erosion and discuss how erosion changes the surface of the Earth. Students...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Indicates the factors that lead to landslides and other mass movements, what their characteristics are, and how to avoid them.

In this interactive tutorial, you will learn about the types of weathering and erosion that rocks and landforms undergo. This will lead to a discussion of soil and the types of soil. Lastly, you will learn about mass movements of soil,...

Try this at-home science experiment to learn about how erosion works.

Learn about biological factors in the weathering and breakdown of rocks.

The Gravestone Project, part of the global citizen science program called EarthTrek, seeks volunteers to visit cemeteries around the world and collect scientific data on how marble gravestones are weathering.

A rich collection of highly engaging learning modules on topics related to the natural environment. Covers four main areas - plate tectonics, forms and processes, weather and climate, and rainforest and desert. Within each of these,...

Learn how salt crystallizes and the weathering effect that this has on rocks and on structures.

In this activity, students explore the effect of chemical erosion on statues and monuments. They use chalk to see what happens when limestone is placed in liquids with different pH values. They also learn several things that engineers...

Slope failure is the downslope movement of rock debris and soil in response to gravitational stresses. Three major types of mass wasting are classified by the type of downslope movement. The types of movement, falls, slides, and flows...

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, students learn about the geological (ancient) carbon cycle. They investigate the role of dinosaurs in the carbon cycle and the eventual storage of carbon in the form of chalk. Students...
