Rocks and Weathering
By Oliver Smith
The rock cycle is never-ending and is constantly changing the landscape through a series of different processes. Scientists use knowledge about the formation, weathering, and erosion of rocks to study the planet's history. Students will enjoy creating visual aids to help them understand the rock cycle and types of weathering!
