Erosion

Slide: 1
good, we started learning about erosion.
Hey sweetie ,how was school?
Erosion is when rocks or soil get worn down by wind, water ,or ice over time.
that's great honey tell me more.
Slide: 2
interesting, how is this affecting people ?
I'm glad you asked. Erosion can lead to damaged homes , roads, and even beaches
and how is this happening?
Rain wash away soil ,rivers dig into land , waves break down coastlines, and ice can can crack rocks open.

sounds like erosion is a huge deal ,huh.
is there anything that can help prevent this from happening?
yes it is, have you heard of ice wedging? This is when water gets into the cracks of rocks causing it to freeze and expand
exactly , glaciers are huge sheets of ice that move slowly towards the land causing harm.
No , we can't stop erosion but we can try slowing the process down. At the beach, they have Breakwaters. These are structures built to protect the shore from waves. Thanks for listening mom, that was just today's story wait until tomorrow's.
