Following the deposition of sediments last week, we now move on to considering the Rock Cycle 'Laying out the rock cycle: product and process; sorting out the rock cycle products – and then adding the processes'. In this ELI, students are asked to ...
In this ELI, students are asked to place a series of rock cycle products in the correct places on a diagram of the rock cycle, then to consider how all these are linked by rock cycle processes.
Many related activities can be found in the Rock Cycle category in Earth as a System.
This activity investigates the effects of flowing water on loose sediment to see how it is eroded, transported and deposited. A teaching video is available.
This ELI involves an activity where the students vary the factors affecting soil erosion, via an animated graphic. The animation provides a visual way of learning the effects of several factors in soil erosion.
Other activities about soils can be found in our Soils category in Earth materials.
This ELI provides a strategy for helping pupils to interact with the outdoor environment they are viewing. They will examine the landscape for surface processes that attack the land and then they will try to visualise the effects of these processes in the past and the future.
