Erosion Water/Wind resources

For this task students are provided with a diagram of a landslip and an example of a possible cause of this. Students are required to list four other possible causes of landslips.

Student view an online animation of cliff erosion and then write a description of what they observe about this process.

On a diagram students indicate how a cliff face might look different in 100 years from now, and explain the probable cause of this.

For this practical task students investigate and report on what they noticed about a model river and how different sized materials are moved by the water.

This practical task assesses students' ability to design and carry out a fair test on the relationship between slope and rates of erosion.

This resource assesses students' understanding of erosion. Students order a set of diagrams showing the process of erosion in a river and write an explanation of how cliff erosion occurs by the sea.

In this task students compare two photographs of a river with normal flow and a river in flood. They make inferences based on their observations.

Students answer two questions about preventing erosion and flooding by a river.
