Science Standards: |
California Gr4, Sc5c. Students know moving water erodes landforms, reshaping the land by taking it away from some places and depositing it as pebbles, sand, silt and mud in other places (weathering, transport, and deposition). (glacier ice is also moving water) Gr6, Sc2. Topography is reshaped by the weathering of rock and soil and by the transportation and deposition of sediment. Gr6, Sc2a. Students know water running downhill is the dominant process in shaping the landscape, including California 's landscape. (glacier ice is also moving water) |
