Slow Changes

There are all different types of weather. Some weather can cause the earth to change fast (fast change) and some changes can cause the earth to change slowly (slow change). When a type of weather changes the earth slowly it is called a slow change. The two types of slow changes are weathering and erosion. Overtime these two types of weather make earth a little different. The types of weathering are water, ice, trees, and wind. These types of weather move dirt and soil, can change the ground, and can eat away at the land. When erosion happens, dirt, soil, and sand are being carried away to a different location on earth.
