Fourth-grade Earth's changing surface explains how rock breaks and moves. Weathering breaks rock. Erosion carries the pieces by water, wind, or ice. Deposition drops them in a new place. Students also meet the idea that some changes are slow, such as a canyon, and some are fast, such as a landslide.

What you practice
These are the Grade 4 Earth's Changing Surface skills this quiz is built around.
- Distinguish weathering (breaking) from erosion (moving) and deposition (dropping).
- Name water, wind, ice, and gravity as agents that change land.
- Tell a slow change, such as canyon cutting, from a fast change, such as a landslide.
A useful tip
Weathering is the breaking. Erosion is the moving. A river weathers the canyon walls and erodes the sediment downstream, then deposits it in a delta. Using one word for all three steps hides the sequence.
