1. Draw and label a picture of Myrtle Beach, SC 10,000 years from now predicting how it will change as a result of weathering, erosion, and deposition if beach renourishment programs did not continue.
- After picture of Myrtle Beach 10,000 years from now (2 points)
- Reasonable predictions of how Myrtle Beach will change as a result of weathering (1 point), erosion( 1 point) , and deposition (1 point).
- Photograph your drawing and attach it to this assignment TEMPLATE.
(Level 3) Analysis
- Create your own weathering, erosion, and deposition postcards from Google Earth using this assignment TEMPLATE.
- Modeling Weathering, Erosion and Deposition activities.
(Level 4) Evaluation
- Use this weathering, erosion and deposition TEMPLATE to complete each of the following:
- Research and attach a diagram that represents weathering, erosion, and deposition to the template. (1 point)
- Explain using 3 or more specific examples how this model accurately demonstrates weathering, erosion, and deposition to create new landforms. (3 points)
- Explain 1 or more specific examples of how this model inaccurately models weathering, erosion, and deposition. (1 point)
(Level 5) Creation
- Create an amazing Google Slides presentation to demonstrate weathering, erosion, and deposition at your home or school using this Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Project Guide TEMPLATE.
Additional Explorations
- Research the effects of beach renourishment or clear-cutting for development. Pose arguments for or against these practices, or problems and solutions related to these issues. https://www.visitmyrtlebeach.com/things-to-do/beaches/beach-renourishment/
- Read and compete interactive science workbook pages 350-374.
Future Learning Connections (9-12)
- Develop and use models to explain how various rock formations on the surface of Earth result from geologic processes including weathering, erosion, deposition, and glaciation.
- Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to determine the factors that affect the rate of weathering.
