The surface of the earth is always changing. The changes can be
sudden or so slow that they are barely visible. Believe it or not,
what you see today could be totally different tomorrow! What kinds
of events can cause these changes? Which ones cause quick changes?
Which ones cause slow changes? Are any of the causes man-made? Can
any of them be prevented? 1111 2222 3333 6666 5555 4444 Next Image

about our Essential Question: How does the earths surface change
over time? 1. Choose an example of a quick and a slow change of the
earths surface. 2. Create a picture showing the earths surface
before and after each change. 3. Write a brief description of the
type of cause and the changes that occurred. You can use Microsoft
Word, Pixie or paper and pencil! Use this checklist to make sure
your work is complete.checklist 1111 2222 3333 6666 5555 4444 Next
