geological processes including weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition can cause slow or rapid changes to Earth’s surface
- identifying types of weathering caused mechanically, such as in wind abrasion, cycles of extreme heat or cold and frost-wedging, and biologically, such as by plants and tree roots
- exploring how erosion can be caused by moving air or moving water and how substances such as surface soil are relocated, and identifying examples of erosion on a local or regional scale
- analysing the difference between weathering and erosion, and comparing the timescales over which these processes can occur
- modelling the effects of erosion on a simulated landscape and exploring factors that mitigate them
- investigating how humans have changed local landscapes and predicting the possible effects of these changes on rates of erosion
- considering how Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples have been and are impacted by the rapid erosion of sand dunes, and the effect of salt water on culturally significant freshwater swamps
