Slow Changes
to the land
Weathering
• Process of rocks breaking down into
smaller pieces, such as pebbles and then
sand
• Causes of weathering
– Wind
– Water
– Plants
Slow Change: Weathering
• Weathering changes Earth’s surface
– cracking, crumbling, and breaking rocks
• Weathering is a slow process; It’s hard to see, and may
take years.
• Rushing waters on beaches, winds, and growing plant
roots can weather rocks.
• Changing temperatures and chemicals can weather
rocks. Chemicals consist of air, water, and everything
around you.
– A cave forms when water runs through cracks in the limestone.
Chemicals in the water soften the limestone. Small openings
form when the water washes away the weathered rocks.
Slow Change: Erosion
• Erosion occurs when weathered materials
are carried away.
• Water, gravity, and wind can cause
erosion.
• A glacier -- a huge piece of moving ice -can also cause erosion. Gravity can move
a glacier from a high land to a low land. It
can move rocks and other things in its
path.
Slow Change: People
• People cause changes in the Earth’s
surface. These changes include
eliminating forests and draining wetlands
to free more land up for building homes.
Cutting into mountains or hills to build
roads is another change. The changes to
the Earth’s surface need to be planned
carefully to protect the environment.
Fast Changes
to the land
Fast Changes
•
•
•
•
•
hurricanes
tornadoes
floods
earthquakes
volcanoes
Fast Change: Hurricane
• A hurricane is a large, violent storm with
strong winds and heavy rains. Hurricanes
can destroy and damage many things.
They form over oceans. A tornado is a
small, powerful windstorm which looks like
a giant funnel.
Hurricane Ike
Fast Change: Floods
• Big storms dump heavy rain on the land.
Then the rainwater runs into rivers. If the
rivers can’t hold all the water, they
overflow their banks and cause a flood.
• Floods leave soil and sand
• Leave rich soil on fields…good for growing
crops
Flood, following Hurricane Ike
Fast Change: Tornado
• Tornadoes appear in wide, flat areas.
Tornado winds swirl very fast and they are
capable of destroying buildings. A flood is
an overflow of water over land. Floods
carry away rocks and soil, and destroy
plants, and buildings.
Fast Change: Earthquake
• An earthquake is a sudden movement of
rocks that make up the Earth’s crusts.
Earthquakes start below the surface and
shake the ground above. Strong
earthquakes cause damage to buildings
and roads. Earthquakes can cause
landslides, as well. They come from
loosened rocks on mountains, melting
snow or heavy rains.
Fast Change: Volcano
• A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s
surface. An eruption occurs when rocks,
gases, and dust come out of the volcano.
Lava is melted rock that comes from the
volcano or a fissure in the ground.
Volcanoes
• ash cloud - an ash cloud is the cloud of ash that forms
in the air after some volcanic eruptions
• conduit - a conduit is a passage through which magma
(molten rock) flows in a volcano.
• crust - the crust is Earth's outermost, rocky layer.
• lava - lava is molten rock; it usually comes out of
erupting volcanoes.
• magma chamber - a magma chamber contains magma
(molten rock) deep within the Earth's crust.
• side vent - a side vent is a vent in the side of a volcano.
• vent - a vent is an opening in the Earth's surface through
which volcanic materials erupt.

Math Lesson
Lesson 1-6: Problem of the Day
Kofi grilled 12 grilled
cheeseburgers. Ten people ate
one cheeseburger each and 4
people had seconds. Is this
possible? Explain.
No; He would need to have made 14
cheeseburgers, and he only made 12.
Mathematics Vocabulary
• pattern: a series of numbers, letters, or
objects that repeat over and over
• digit: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
• period: a group of 3 digits

Weather words
• Sustained wind: stays strong for a long
time
• Wind gust: quick faster wind, then slows
back down
• Lake effect snow: water that evaporates
from a lake, comes down as snow, the
wind pushes the snow intensely in the
direction it is going
