Surficial Processes and Sedimentary Rocks
In this lab, we will focus on learning about geological processes that occur on the Earth’s surface. These processes include weathering, erosion, and deposition. Specifically, we will also focus on how water and streams sculpt our landscapes, erode, and deposit sediment. Since deposited sediment can turn into sedimentary rocks, we will also learn about some of these rocks.
Learning Objectives
Students will learn and demonstrate their understanding of
- the role of erosion and deposition in the creation of sedimentary rocks,
- how streams sculpt landscapes and transport sediment, and
- how topographic maps can be used to study landscapes.
