Do Now 2/27/14Imagine you lived in this house on
the edge of a cliff
1) What would some concerns be about living there?
2) What potential dangers might you face? Explain how these dangers may occur.

How does erosion differ from weathering?
• Weathering BREAKS DOWN the Earth’s material into sediments.
• Erosion TRANSPORTS the sediments to a new location.
STOP:What are the
2 different types of
weathering?
![Page 6: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
But how is the weather material moved?

Where can erosion be seen in real life?
• The entire river basin in Louisiana is the product of sediment deposition from the Mississippi River (following the latest rise in sea level about 5,000 years ago.)
![Page 14: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
One possibility: the weathered and eroded pieces help make soil

Do Now 2/28/14How did the Grand Canyon form?
• On a sheet of paper to turn in, answer the following questions:1. How did the canyon form? (What caused the
landforms to rise, what carved the canyon out of the landform, and what forces have made the canyon even wider than just the river)
2. What is a debris flow? What does a debris flow do?

• Soil is:–The upper layer of earth in
which plants grow, a black or brown material typically consisting of a mixture of organic remains, clay, and rock particles

Poverty
• 73,000 students are living in poverty in Charlotte, NC – that means not getting appropriate nutrition
![Page 34: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• 15.3% of Charlotte lives below the poverty line – that means struggling to make ends meets
• 75% of the population does not consume appropriate levels of fruits and vegetables – that means unhealthy

You need a diverse, balanced diet!
• Carbs, fats and proteins are essential for storing and providing energy
• Proteins also break down into amino acids that are very important for structuring cells
• We also need essential vitamins and minerals
![Page 37: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations
• 925 million people are malnourished
• 15.7% of the world’s population

• People in developing countries rely primarily on grains for their diet
• Because of this agriculture, is very important in relieving world hunger

Agriculture• Farmers clear the land, plant seeds,
grow crops, and harvest them• Manage resources, such as land,
soil, water and seeds
![Page 40: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Care for growing crops from weeds and pests
• Harvested crops are used to feed the family, feed livestock, or be sold for a profit
![Page 41: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
4 Types of Farms
• Small tenant farms – farmers do not own the land, but work the land for a landlord – farmers are paid or get a share of the crops
![Page 42: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Family-owned farms – Family owns the farm and works the land for itself, small business farming
![Page 43: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Commercial farms – Agribusiness companies own large farms and employ farmers to work for them – crops are sold or used for other products (i.e. corn for high fructose corn syrup)
![Page 44: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• State-owned farms – Government owns these large farms and employs citizen farmers to work the land, largely found in former Soviet Union and China

Do Now 9/26/131. List the 6 types of soil.2. What are the 4 ways that sediments are
transported (erosion)?3. What soil type is:
30%clay, 40% silt, 30% sand
![Page 46: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
What is arable land?• The top 6 inches of top soil• Determines the productivity
of our food production
![Page 47: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• More than 99% of food comes from this arable land
• Of the 2.3 billion acres of U.S. land, only 20% is sufficiently fertile for crop production
• Nearly 400 million acres of land is arable in the U.S.
![Page 48: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
What is SOIL????
• The relatively thin surface layer of the Earth’s crust consisting of mineral and organic matter.
Soil is not DIRT!
![Page 49: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
As rocks are broken down by the process called weathering , small pieces of rock (sediments) are formed.
These small pieces of rock are then eroded, or carried away.
These pieces of sediment will eventually form sedimentary rock. However, before other sediments are placed on top of them, these small pieces of rock form soil.
![Page 50: Do Now 2/27/14](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568168a7550346895ddf4491/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The 5 Soil-Forming Factors
• climate (water, wind, temperature)• biology (macro- and microorganisms, plants)
• relief (topography)• parent material (rocks/minerals)• time
Which is the MOST important?? CLIMATE!!!
Formed from parent material (bedrock) that’s slowly broken down through weathering processes.

Soil supports life
Why is Soil Important?
Fun Fact: 1 teaspoon of good soil contains more than 1 million bacteria!
Fun Fact: There are more living organisms in a cubic
foot of soil then all of China!
