Today the students and I went over the vocabulary terms that will be on the vocabulary quiz tomorrow.  We then review weathering and erosion for the upcoming unit over landforms.

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and deposited in other locations.
