The Great Pyramid has had to withstand the elements for over 4500 years. The main type of erosion it has undergone is wind. The wind has been taking small pieces of sandstone from the Pyramids ever since they were built. The wind has also pushed sand off the pyramids making small sand hills. The Pyramids still stand but some of the smaller pyramids have taken quite a bit of damage.]]> 2023-03-07 18:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2507330090 alexanderscott9 https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2512176080 The lighthouse of Alexandria had been eroded by the water surrounding it. The lighthouse itself is still mostly intact and has not undergone too much weathering however the island it stands on can't say the same. The waves from the surrounding island have taken a lot away from the island by splashing against the island taking rock away with each wave, in turn, weakening the base the lighthouse stands on. The island has shrunken in size and the shores keep getting smaller.

The great wall of china has undergone much erosion the main being human erosion. People have walked on the wall for hundreds of years breaking it down. In the past, people have also destroyed parts of the wall so they can expand. Only 8.2% of the original wall remains in good condition with the rest being destroyed or damaged from human-caused erosion.

The workers who made the faces used many different tools, some of these tools were dynamite, jackhammers, drills, chisels, and pickaxes. Construction of the heads started in 1927 and ended around 1940. The workers slowly broke rocks away from the mountain to shape their heads. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rushmore ]]> 2023-03-15 17:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2518125181 alexanderscott9 https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2521185891 Iguazu Falls is a water located along the Argentina and Brazil border and is an example of water erosion. The Iguacu river flows the water for this massive waterfall. The water from the river and waterfall has been falling into the river below causing the rocks under it to break and be carried away by the water flowing. The water also weathers away at the cliff it flows off of which over time makes the cliff ridged.]]> 2023-03-17 17:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2521185891 alexanderscott9 https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2522397116 The Great Victoria Desert, is an example of wind erosion. The Desert has sand dunes all over formed by the wind picking sand up off the ground and moving it onto more sand forming these dunes. The wind also scatters the sand randomly throughout the desert. Over time the wind has drastically changed the landscape of this desert.]]> 2023-03-19 18:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2522397116 alexanderscott9 https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2522682361 Mendenhall Glacier, a 1.5-mile wide and 100 feet high glacier, also serves as a landmark separating part of Alaska and Canada. This glacier has been standing since around 1900 and has been plucking away at the mountain near it since it was formed. The glacier has slowly been rubbing up against that mountain taking small bits of rock with it each time. The glacier will also sometimes lose some ice which will then melt into the mountain rocks causing them to crack. ]]> 2023-03-20 01:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2522682361 alexanderscott9 https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2523629700 Beardmore Glacier, the Beardmore glacier is a 125 miles long glacier located only a few thousand feet away from the south polar plateau. The glacier is an example of ice erosion. The ice from the glacier has changed the mountains around it little by little over time. The ice will break off from the glacier and fall onto the mountain where it will then seep into the cracks in the rocks breaking them down over time. The ice could also hit the rocks hard enough to just break them off the mountain entirely. ]]> 2023-03-20 14:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2523629700 alexanderscott9 https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2525765399 The coypu is an invasive animal originating from South America. These animals burrow into the ground near stretches of water. The coypu is hunted for its fur but also because of its destructive burrowing and eating habits.]]> 2023-03-21 17:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2525765399 alexanderscott9 https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2525794748 Crayfish are small and look like crabs. They erode the land by burrowing in the ground near the edge of the water causing little landslides over time. Their burrowing weakens the stability of the dirt causing it to collapse.]]> 2023-03-21 17:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderscott9/bbp2i0mpxgnbwb1t/wish/2525794748
