Change is happening all the time in the natural world but it may be happening at such a slow speed that you do not notice it. To find out about the key processes of weathering and erosion and they are caused by water and temperature watch the YouTube clip below. There are a series of questions below to answer which will help you to structure what you have learnt from the clip. Or alternatively there is a question grid that can just be printed off and filled in.
