Landforms
Explain how natural processes (including weathering, erosion,
deposition, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and
floods) affect Earth’s oceans and land in constructive and
destructive ways.
Landforms
Landforms are all around us.
Click on the picture to find out
what is a landform and some
examples.
Weathering & Erosion
Weathering and erosion work together as
destructive natural forces. Click on the
cloud to learn more about weathering
and erosion.

Pictures of Erosion & Weathering
Wind and rain can really erode our Earth.
Take a look a some pictures that show
erosion and weathering.

Floods
Floods are very destructive forces.
They can cause a lot of damage. Click

Deposition
Deposition is the dropping or depositing, of
sediments by water, wind, or ice. Click the
picture to learn more about deposition.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes are mountains with opening in
Earth’s crust through which magma, gases
and ash reach Earth’s surface. Click on the
picture below to watch a volcano erupt.
Click the volcano to gather more important facts
about volcanoes.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are the sudden shock or rolling of the
Earth’s surface. What causes this sudden shake
you might ask. Click the word EARTHQUAKE
to find out!

Now that you are experts on
landforms, write a brief
summary of everything you’ve
learned about landforms. Be
sure to include information
about weathering and erosion,
and the destructive and
constructive forces.
Job Well Done!
