Activity 4.2 - Mining Sand part of Humans Dependence on Earths Mineral Resources
Students will analyze data and answer questions regarding the weathering, erosion, and deposition responsible for concentrating shoreline titanium placer deposits in Florida.

Activity 4.1 - Review of Sedimentary Processes part of Humans Dependence on Earths Mineral Resources
Even though students will read about sedimentary processes and the mineral resources thus formed, they will need some practice in order to truly grasp the concepts.

Unit 2: Fluvial Processes that Shape the Natural Landscape part of Interactions between Water, Earth’s Surface, and Human Activity
In this unit, students examine the interaction between the hydrologic cycle and rock cycle through exploring the processes of weathering, erosion, transport and deposition of sediments both in real stream systems ...

Unit 3.1 - Geology and Geomorphology part of Critical Zone Science
The basic concepts of geology will be considered to address the widely ranging textures and compositions of rocks and sediments formed in a wide range of environments. These variations in turn can affect soil ...

Unit 4: How Sedimentary Processes Create Mineral Resources part of Student Materials
Learning outcomes: Summarize the processes that act to make sedimentary rocks. Explain how sedimentary processes (especially chemical weathering, erosion and deposition, and crystallization) redistribute and ...

Unit 3.2 - Landforms and Remote Sensing part of Critical Zone Science
In this unit, geomorphic environments and the processes that can move and shape them are explored to learn about the links between landforms, soils, and the Critical Zone. The fundamentals of geomorphology are ...

Unit 4: Mineral Resources Created by Sedimentary Processes part of Humans Dependence on Earths Mineral Resources
In this unit, students will learn about sedimentary processes and the rocks they form. Activities are specifically designed to address topics such as clastic sedimentary processes, chemical weathering, and how such ...

Soils module extension activity — Images as data part of Soils, Systems, and Society
Courses in science, science methods, and social studies regularly use mounted images as a method of conveying data. Below are sets of large images that can be printed and mounted for classroom use. Ways to use ...

Unit 3: Natural and Agricultural Erosion Rates part of A Growing Concern
Students will identify their perceptions of erosion by examining images of mountain and agricultural landscapes and discussing which environment is more erosive. They will use geospatial figures to compare erosion ...

A Growing Concern: Sustaining Soil Resources through Local Decision Making part of A Growing Concern
Educating undergraduates about soil sustainability is central to our agricultural future. Soil erosion outpaces soil production and soil management is key. This teaching module provides undergraduates with ...
