Shaping Processes TERM 2
The atmosphere of the earth is divided into several layers. The layer closest to earth, the troposphere, is the layer where weather plays an important role in shaping the landscape through processes of gradation and deposition. Weathering loosens rock materials, and different weathering agents, running water, ice, wind, ocean waves, create unique erosional and depositional landforms.
This unit on geomorphology examines these processes and evaluates them with respect to how humans have been able to adapt or modify the landscapes resulting from these processes.

Group Assignment:
The class breaks up into four groups: Weathering, Streams, Glaciers, Coasts. Each group will be responsible to prepare a series of landscape models, maps, pictures that are associated with both gradational and depositional processes and which examine how humans have dealt with each environment.
Weather and Climate will be based on class handouts. Also use the general reference section
