Earth`s Processes

A student organize and sort fast changes and slow changes on Earth.

Fast Changes: Flood - Earthquake

Slow Changes: Landslide - Weathering

What should be changed?

• A flood is a slow change.

• A landslide is a fast change.

• Weathering is a fast change.

• An earthquake is a slow change.

What could the student add to the table?

• Add lava as a slow change.

• Add volcano as a fast change.

• Add deposition as a fast change.

• Add heavy rainfall as a slow change.

What is happening when rocks break apart?

• deposition

• erosion

• landslide

• weathering

Look at the picture. It shows a hillside after it has been cleared of trees and other plants.

Predict what will happen to the hillside.

• Wind erosion will decrease.

• Wind erosion will stop.

• Water erosion will decrease.

• Water erosion will increase.

Look at the picture. It shows a hillside after it has been cleared of trees and other plants.

What could slow the effects of this human action?

• Plant trees on the hillside.

• Build houses on the hillside.

• Build a tunnel at the bottom of the hill.

• Remove the windbreak at the bottom of the hill.
