Erosion Scavenger Hunt
- For each feature below, either:
- Locate a real-life example of the process in BC, show us a video of it and explain the formation process.
OR
- Locate the formation/process in the world and show us what it looks like. Then, devise an experiment that replicates the process, video document it and explain the formation process.
- Organize the presentation under each theme listed below
- Find one place that was hit by one of the listed natural/environmental disasters
- show where it is
- explain how the disaster occurred
- explain the effects on people
- explain how they’ve tried to adapt to it.
