- Weathering and erosion have shaped the rocky coastline. Factors: water (waves), wind, and possibly salt weathering.
- Weathering has caused the stone wall to crack and break apart. Factors: freeze-thaw cycles, water seeping into cracks, and biological growth.
- Weathering and drying have caused the ground to crack. Factors: lack of water, high temperatures, and soil composition.
- Weathering and erosion formed the natural arch. Factors: wind and water wearing away softer rock layers over time.
- Erosion by water has carved the cliffs along the shore. Factors: wave action, tides, and possibly rainfall runoff.
- Erosion has created ruts in the dirt road. Factors: water runoff from rain, vehicle traffic, and lack of vegetation to hold soil.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of weathering and erosion worksheet.
