and fall apart and fall apart

Natural Process

The natural process is the natural way something from nature grows

Pothole By Christian OrrPothole By Christian Orr A pot hole is when there is A pot hole is when there is

a little hole in the grounda little hole in the ground

It is caused by weathering not It is caused by weathering not erosion. The cold and erosion. The cold and warm temperatures to get warm temperatures to get stress. There is a lot of pot stress. There is a lot of pot holes on the road. I don’t holes on the road. I don’t know if it’s a slow or rapid know if it’s a slow or rapid process. But if no one fixes process. But if no one fixes it will get bigger and break it will get bigger and break apart water will wash away apart water will wash away broken pieces.broken pieces.

It could cause lots of damage It could cause lots of damage to the road like a car to the road like a car wheel getting stuck and wheel getting stuck and then a car crashthen a car crash

Scientific observations are when a scientist Looks at or observes something like for instance An example is the scientist a long time ago observed The ice age so that was a scientific observation

Soil Soil

Soil is dirt that plants can live in. Soil can be Soil is dirt that plants can live in. Soil can be eroded by moving water because of the force eroded by moving water because of the force of the water. The most important thing about of the water. The most important thing about soil is that we can grow plants that we can soil is that we can grow plants that we can

eat.eat.

Weathering - the process of rocks/ minerals breaking down from vegetation, water, and freezing/ thawing. It is a Breakdown of rock to form sediment

By: Fiona Blumin

A rapid process is something that happens quickly such as

Thawing means that something is in Thawing means that something is in ice and you could use tools or you ice and you could use tools or you

could melt the ice and take the thing could melt the ice and take the thing out when it is very close to be done out when it is very close to be done

and there could be an ice cube that is and there could be an ice cube that is melting.melting.

Volcanic EruptionsVolcanic Eruptions

By: Abbey DurisBy: Abbey Duris A Volcanic Eruptions is A Volcanic Eruptions is

when a volcano erupts when a volcano erupts and lava comes out and lava comes out and shatters and shatters everywhere . It is like everywhere . It is like a glass cup dropped a glass cup dropped and goes all over the and goes all over the floor (land).floor (land).

Another thing you Another thing you should know about should know about Volcanic Eruptions is Volcanic Eruptions is that when a volcano that when a volcano erupts that you should erupts that you should find strong shelterfind strong shelter

Break Wall Break Wall By: Abbey DurisBy: Abbey Duris

• A Break Wall is a strong wall that hold’s the water back and the stay’s there.

• Another thing you should know is the water is rough back there so don’t go back there!!!

Conclusion

Conclusion is the end of the sciencetist prediction or a end of the story.

• A drought is a long period of very dry weather. It is a long time with little or no rain.

Earthquakes By: Gina Gersey• In an earthquake the ground

shakes. Earthquakes commonly last for a few seconds.

• There are big earthquakes and small earthquakes. Big earthquakes can damage buildings and hurt people.

• When the earth moves in an earthquake, it can cause waves in the ocean. A big wave in the ocean caused by an earthquake is called a "tsunami". A tsunami can also hurt people and damage buildings.

• This is a raped process. and also scary.

Glacial moraines by: Brianne O'Keefe

• A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (soil and rock) which can occur in currently glaciated and formerly glaciated regions, such as those areas acted upon by a past ice age. This debris may have been plucked off the valley floor as a glacier advanced or it may have fallen off the valley walls as a result of frost wedging. Moraines may be composed of silt like glacial flour to large boulders. The debris is typically sub-angular to rounded in shape. Moraines may be on the glacier’s surface or deposited as piles or sheets of debris where the glacier has melted. Moraines may also occur when glacier or iceberg transported rocks fall into the sea as the ice melts.
