Weathering and Erosion Experiment

This is what we observed after leaving our experiment out for a few days. The mountain started to crack where the sand was stuck, demonstrating what happens with weathering.






























This week we have been discussing weathering and erosion. It takes hundreds of years to see the effects of weathering and erosion, but we did a speedy version in class using clay, sand, water, and "wind". The wind got a little slobbery, but it still worked! lol

Are there any places around your home that you can find to identify the effects of weathering and erosion?
