• • • • • 1. What is the water cycle?

          2. How does the water cycle work?

          3. Copy the diagram below and add the key terminology labels from above.

          4. Define all the words that are mentioned in the clip that you do not know the meaning of.

          5. Using the Word Wall connect the term to the definition - we can do this as a group.

Weathering and erosion are vital processes of change. You may remember looking at processes when you explored the 'Wonderful World' unit in Year 7. You have had had a few sleeps since then though or you may be new to the school so it is always good to recap. Watch the YouTube clip and then answer the questions below.

• • 1. What is weathering?

    2. What is erosion?

    3. What are the different types of weathering?

    4. Design a flow chart to explain how the different sections of weathering occur.

    5. Copy the table below and fill in the columns explaining how water, ice and wind are all forms of erosion.

       1. 1. 1. 1. • OR

                     • Use the information in the 'Useful Resources' box to create a guide for next Year 8s on how erosion occurs. You will need to include a diagram which is annotated and an explanation of how the process happens.
