What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering breaks apart the rocks, pebbles or soil. Erosion is what carries them away!
This week we did an erosion lab. What a difference a little plant does when there is rainfall! Check out this photo of some plain garden soil and a house plant after we simulated rain on both. The garden soil was washed away by erosion, and the soil under the plant was protected by the leaves and roots!
