The seafloor atop of Mt. Everest is super small...we know that there used to be a vast ocean between where a sea fossil originated and where it is now on the top of Mt. Everest. But where exactly has it gone?
Using other images similar to Everest, we're seeing the role that weathering and erosion can play! Using similar phenomena is making us realize that LOTS of places on the Earth seem to be experiencing what Everest experiences.

Since we're physically out of school due to COVID-19, it's hard to do hands-on investigations at home, so we resulted to two things to help us figure out about weathering and erosion:
1. A series of demonstration videos people have posted online (thank you to everyone who's been kind enough to do similar ideas to what we wanted to do to figure out about weathering and erosion).
2. A series of timelapse videos people have posted online (this is super cool that they've wanted to do this to show change in different places on the Earth's surface).
We have been able to clearly see how weathering and erosion can impact the Earth's surface. We closed out our figuring out about weathering and erosion by making some lighthearted memes before spring break...
Enjoy (and check back as we close out our Mt. Everest unit)!
