The Ever-Changing Surface of the Earth
... In "The Ever-Changing Surface of the Earth - Part 1," you learned that erosion occurs when running water, sea waves, wind, and glaciers pick up rock and soil materials and carry them to other locations. These rocky materials are transported after the process of weathering has broken bedrock down int ...
