Blog Project: Brad Dobbins

Reflection:
This weeks experience was a very memorable one! I learned so much information about soil erosion. When our teachers first came into the class talking about soil erosion, I did not know what to think. I thought soil erosion was not that big of a deal, but in reality, it really is. It effects everyone and everything around us.

Vocabulary:
Throughout this experience i learned a few new terms as we went on each day.

Soil Erosion- is the moving of soil

Detachment- is when the rain detaches the soil from the ground.

Transport- is when the water takes the soil away

Rill- is a small rivulet

Gully- is a small valley

Questions:
Though we learned a lot, I really wish I could have asked these questions...

What are we (as America) doing to prevent soil erosion at construction sites, homes, etc?

How can people prevent soil erosion in their daily lives?
