Welcome to the weathering and erosion webquest!
Natural forces change the earth two different ways:
Destructive [think about the word–to destroy or tear down]
**soil and rock is taken away
***think wind, rain, rivers,glaciers
Constructive [think about the word–to construct or to build]
**soil and rock is added
***think rivers dumping sediment, earthquakes moving land, volcanoes creating new land with lava
Write several sentences to explain what you learn at each site you visit--
1.Shape it up–visit this site, play the game, then list the different forms of erosion you observe in the game.
2. Virtual lab–glaciers
What are some different ways glaciers shape the land?
What are some different ways glaciers shape the land?
3.Virtual lab–how land changes
List 4 different ways land and things on the land are changed over time.
List 4 different ways land and things on the land are changed over time.
4. Erosion–What is erosion? Erosion is ______________________.
5. Weathering–List four examples of mechanical weathering?
6. Virtual Cave–explore caves and answer these questions:
Caves are amazing holes in the ground, often going for miles and miles underground!
There are four types of caves inthis site:
Which 3 are caused by erosion? _________, _________, and _________ are caused by erosion. The last one
is caused by ______________________________.
7. Forces of Nature–destructive or constructive?
There are four types of caves inthis site:
Which 3 are caused by erosion? _________, _________, and _________ are caused by erosion. The last one
is caused by ______________________________.
7. Forces of Nature–destructive or constructive?
Create your own tornado, volcano, hurricane and earthquake.
Decide how each of these forces of nature changes the
land destructively or constructively (or both):
Tornado:________________________
Volcano:_________________________
Hurricane: _________________________
Earthquake: _______________________
Reflect on how this weathering and erosion webquest helped you learn about these processes. Demonstrate what you learned by completing a project. Examples include posters, models, Powerpoints, written papers, comic strips, and picture books. You may create your own project idea--just ask Mrs. Lykens if it is appropriate.
This project is due January 17, 2019
