Play through this interactive game to learn about . Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
Weather conditions, such as rainfall, can shape the landforms on Earth through weathering and erosion.
Some agents of weathering include water, ice, wind, gravity, and living organisms.
A delta is a fan-shaped piece of land that forms at the mouth of a river from the deposition of sand and mud.
Sediment is a small piece of weathered rock.
Weathering is the process by which rocks, soil, and sediments are broken down into smaller particles.
Different landforms on Earth include mountains, hills, valleys, canyons, deltas, sand dunes, and plains.
A sand dune forms when sand is eroded by wind and deposited onto another location, producing a hill.
The landforms in a region affect the types of living things that can exist there.
Erosion is the process by which rock, soil, and/or sediments are transported from one location to another.
