I feel like an idiot for even asking, however, here goes...
I need to do a "graphical representation of mechanical and chemical weathering, water, wind, and ice erosion." I have read through my text numerous times and still am not sure how to do this. Does anyone know of any websites that can assist, this moron??
Thanks in advance!
First, you're not an idiot or a moron!
These sites should give you some good ideas.

Photos would be nice. I am reminded of photos of the Red River in Big Bend National Park (Texas), the Grand CAnyon, boulders in the air in Utah weathered by sand blowing.

Thank you!
You're very welcome. Good luck with your project.
graphical representation means with graphs
Hey there! No need to feel like an idiot, we're here to help. Creating a graphical representation of mechanical and chemical weathering, as well as erosion caused by water, wind, and ice can be a bit challenging if you're not sure where to start. But don't worry, I can guide you through the process!
Here's how you can approach creating your graphical representation:
1. Identify the key processes: Start by understanding the mechanisms behind mechanical and chemical weathering, as well as water, wind, and ice erosion. Mechanical weathering involves physical factors like abrasion, freeze-thaw cycles, and root wedging, while chemical weathering involves chemical reactions that alter rock structures. Water erosion is caused by the movement of water, wind erosion occurs due to the force of wind, and ice erosion is caused by glaciers or freezing/thawing cycles.
2. Sketch the landforms: Visualize the landforms and features created by each process. For example, mechanical weathering could create cracked or fragmented rocks, while chemical weathering could result in rounded or corroded rock surfaces. Water erosion might form river valleys or canyons, wind erosion can shape sand dunes or rock formations, and ice erosion can carve out glacial valleys or fjords.
3. Find visual references: Look for images or diagrams online that depict the processes and landforms you're trying to represent. This can give you inspiration and help you understand the visual characteristics better. Search on websites like Google Images or educational resources like Khan Academy, National Geographic, or ScienceDaily.
4. Create your own representation: Using the information and inspiration you've gathered, start sketching or drawing your graphical representation. You can do this on paper or use software like Adobe Illustrator or Canva if you're comfortable using graphic design tools.
5. Label and explain: As you create your representation, make sure to include labels or captions to explain the different processes and landforms. This will help viewers understand what they are looking at.
Remember, the goal is to visually communicate the concepts effectively, so don't worry too much about being perfect. The process of creating your graphical representation will also help you solidify your understanding of the topic.
Good luck, and feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
