Weathering+and+Erosion

[|Shape It Up!]
T his game will challenge you to identify the forces that shape the earth’s surface and the relative speed with which they act. **Determine which of the game’s four earth-shaping forces (wind, water, glacial and volcanic activity) is NOT a force of weathering/erosion**. (You will play the game for approximately 5 minutes-enough time for everyone to have played every scenario in the game.)

Next you will look at some different forces behind mechanical weathering.
