For example, if silt fences are installed on two separate construction sites you may submit photos of the silt fences from both construction sites and count them as two of the five conservation practices.

It discusses the rock cycle, which illustrates the transformation of rocks via uplift, erosion, sedimentation, and other processes. Key steps in the cycle include burial, cementation, and weathering, highlighting the dynamic interactions within Earth's geology.

It details various dune classifications shaped by wind patterns and discusses the impact on human settlements, notably desertification. The page provides a global overview of notable dune locations and includes references to studies on dune management and fixation.

Here you will investigate the processes that mobilize earth materials and the surface changes that result from weathering, erosion, and mass movement. Compare and contrast chemical and physical weathering. Explain how mass movement occurs and the landform features created by it. Explain how splash, sheet, rill and gully erosion occurs.

The high viscosity of ice makes all ice transport of sediment laminar. Thus, grain sizes are not sorted. All of the sediment is transported together, with the ice, and it is deposited when the ice melts. However, liquid water and wind can also transport sediment in these environments. Wind transport is common when there is little vegetation. Liquid water transport occurs when the ice melts.

It describes streams and rivers as vital transporters of eroded materials, with streams varying in size and speed. The page details how streams carry materials through different loads and create floodplains and levees, while rivers deposit sediments forming deltas and alluvial fans. Deltas occur where river velocity decreases at ocean edges, and alluvial fans develop in flat, arid areas.

It highlights sedimentary rocks like sandstone, detailing their formation through compaction and lithification processes like cementation. The lesson further categorizes various types of sedimentary rocks based on composition and formation methods.
