Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Adventures!

This week, you are learning about weathering, erosion, and deposition. Here are the lyrics to the "Break, Move, Drop" song. The words are by Shawn Coleman. 

Break, move, drop.

Break, move, drop.

All of these processes happen to a rock. (repeat)

Weathering breaks it,

Erosion takes it.

And when the motion stops,

Deposition drops.

Wind and water moving around,

Gravity pulls it down.

Links for you to visit... this list will grow this week!
