Understanding Earth's Changing Surface: Weathering, Erosion, and Soil Formation

Explore the dynamic processes that shape Earth's surface, including weathering, soil formation, and water erosion. This educational resource from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln dives into the science behind landforms, the factors influencing soil composition, and the impact of human activities. Discover key concepts ranging from the effects of climate and plants on rock breakdown to various soil horizons and mass movement events. Enhance your understanding of Nebraska's unique landscapes and the vital role they play in our ecosystem.
