What material makes up most of the Earth?
3
Rocks!
5
What is the difference between Weathering and Erosion? Movement!
6
When we build we have to consider weathering and erosion http://www.sanfranciscovisitor.com/cliff-house-san-francisco.html

Engineering Erosion Compiled by Rhonda Hawley, Educator Funded by the MathScience Innovation Center

The job of the Civil Engineer is to plan, slow down, and even STOP! the rock/soil from moving in areas where people live and work. http://www.laspilitas.com/garden/howto/slope.html

Let’s Experiment! With the Agents of Weathering & Erosion!

EcoGrid can be used as either a temporary or permanent ground reinforcement. It is used to reinforce lawns and other grassy areas to prevent mud and damage to the ground. Once laid ecogrid can be filled with stone, earth or seeded. When the grass has grown EcoGrid becomes invisible but still resists wear and compression. Ecogrid is perfectly suited to pathways, parking lots or driveways and has numerous sporting applications such as equestrian facilities and golf courses. EcoGrid is provides excellent ground support and prevention from erosion. http://www.terrafirmenterprises.com/ecogrid.html Slide 21 : Where is EcoGrid used?
