Erosion

Erosion is the process of wearing down the surface of the earth by natural processes such as rain, water, wind, and tectonic movement. Erosion happens over millions of years and shapes and reshapes the land endlessly. Some of the most fascinating sites in the world, such as the Grand Canyon in Arizona, were made via erosion. The earth's natural processes don't stop depending on the location. Places in China, Estonia, Jordon, and Japan, all have been affected by erosion.Coastal erosion, meaning erosion around the coastlines of various countries occurs, too, and sometimes we can see it change before our eyes, even after a few years. Glaciers, huge drifts of ice, play a huge part in erosion. In fact, over millions of years, new continents could even be formed. How will erosion affect the earth in the next 100 years?

In this week's class we will start the topic of erosion. We will first read about the topic, and this will be followed by vocabulary. Then, we will complete a vocabulary word practice, and do our usual listening. Finally, we will write some sentences and share those, too. At last, we will design a project based on erosion. What will this project be? You will find out!
