Landforms

2.01 Identify and analyze forces that cause change in landforms over time including: water and ice, wind and gravity. [|Erosional Caves] [|Wind Erosion] 2.02 Investigate and discuss the role of the water cycle and how movement of water over and through the landscape helps shape land forms. [|Conceptulization of the water cycle] [|Water Cycle research] 2.03 Discuss and consider the wearing away and movement of rock and soil in erosion and its importance in forming: canyons, valleys, meanders and tributaries. [|Science Bulletin] [|Formation of Yosemite] [|Valleys] 2.04 Describe the deposition of eroded materials and its importance in establishing landforms including: deltas and flood plains. 2.05 Discuss how the flow of water and the slope of the land affect erosion. 2.06 Identify and use models, maps, and areial photograhs as ways of representing landforms.
