In Integrated we are learning about how natural and human impacts can effect our landscape.
W.E.D is an acronym that stands for Weathering, Erosion and Deposition. Weathering is breaking down the rock or natural parts of the earth, erosion is taking those parts away and deposition is where they end up. Think of it as weathering makes the mess, erosion helps clean it up and deposition is were that mess ends up. Here is some of the things I found.
4T (my class) went for a walk around our school and found some examples of these. When you see cracks in the footpath it is most likely that the trees around it, their roots have grown out and weathered the footpath. Another example is when it rains a lot the gutter can over flow and pics up dirt, grass and tan bark then it deposits it further down the rode. The more rain there is the more the roots of the trees the water runs down will show.
What are some examples of W.E.D in your local community?
