The best time ever was at seconds.
The best time today is at seconds.
How To Play:
Drag the squares in the gray area and drop them in the matching squares in the blue area below.
If you drop a square in the correct spot, it will disappear.
If you make a mistake, the square will return to its original spot.
Good luck!

Let's Play Speed Match!

Erosion
Glaciers or rivers carve them out.
Earth's tectonic plates slide under one another and the Earth's crust gets pushed up.
Erosion
Erosion
The plant roots push apart the pavement causing cracks in the blacktop.
The sand can be moved and or formations shaped by wind, water, human activity, or storms.
1. Rivers and lakes are formed from the scooping out of the land. 2. Mountains are formed or crushed down. 3. More fertile soil is created
Earthquakes that move the land and rocks.
The blacktop had moisture trapped in the pavement and the temperature went to freezing, the moisture expands and cracks the pavement.
Water erodes the canyon walls by moving sediment with it.
Blowing wind and rain.
Water
Flowing water from rivers erode the land.
The shorter rounded mountain is older because it has been eroded.
Wind blows sand.
When large rocks are removed from a cliff face and deposited at the bottom of a canyon wall.
Islands are created when an underwater volcano erupts and gets built up and the magma starts hardening above the Earth's surface.
Weathering
Weathering
Erosion is the movement of sediment.
Salt Water
Water
Valley
Plateaus
