Erosion And Weathering Reshape Earth

Weathering and erosion have helped shaped many of Earth's most famous landforms, from the Grand Canyon to the Cliffs of Moher. Readers will get an in-depth look at how these fascinating processes are able to transform the surfaces of the world. Eye-catching photographs and stimulating sidebars help readers develop a deeper understanding of the informative narrative. Explanatory graphic organizers reinforce key concepts and support important aspects of elementary science curricula, including the Next Generation Science Standards.

Earth is constantly changing. Wind, water, and even humans change Earth's surface. The land is broken down and worn away by erosion. Introduce students to weathering and erosion with this science reader that features easy-to-read text. Nonfiction text features include a glossary, index, and detailed images to facilitate close reading and help students connect back to the text. Aligned to state and national standards, the book also includes a fun and engaging science experiment to develop critical thinking and help students practice what they have learned.

Full-page photos and graphs illustrate the topics covered, while easy-to-comprehend text helps readers understand the concepts of erosion and weathering, including the difference between these two processes and how they affect rocks in the rock cycle.

Did you know that rain, waves, wind, snow, and ice can change the shape of the Earth's surface? They can create valleys, sand dunes, and deep caves. Learn about the natural forces of erosion and how they shape the land.

Earth has been shaped by thousands of years of weathering and erosion. These forces have created amazing landforms around the world, from rock arches to deep canyons. This book introduces readers to the science behind erosion and weathering. Readers will dig deep to uncover the many forces that impact the shape of the earth, including wind, water, and living creatures. Through accessible text, conversation-starting sidebars, and eye-catching photographs, readers will gain a deep understanding of the science behind our dynamic Earth.
