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: 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 ...

Erosion in Alaska | Youth And Climate part of CLEAN Collection

Nelson from Kipnuk, Alaska invites us to see how climate change is melting permafrost and causing coastal erosion in his hometown.

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 ...

Unit 2: Application of Concepts to Case Studies part of Major Storms and Community Resilience
In Unit 2, students apply and evaluate foundational concepts about storm hazards and risk in the context of two cases studies: Superstorm Sandy (2012) and the Storm of the Century (1993). Through different ...

Unit 5: Predicting the Effects of Climate Change on Soil Loss part of A Growing Concern
Students will investigate how the factors that influence erosion work together to produce an overall erosion rate. In agricultural areas, these factors are rainfall-runoff erosivity, soil erodibility, slope ...
