 * NAME ** **CLASS  ** _

Many well-known land forms around Australia are the result of ‘weathering’—the effects of the atmosphere on exposed rock materials. For example, the Three Sisters and the Kiama Blowhole, New South Wales, the Twelve Apostles, Victoria, and Uluru (Ayers Rock), Northern Territory.

 Select any land form that has occurred as a result of weathering. Write a report for the local newspaper, describing the location, origin and formation of the selected land form. The outline below can be used to draft your report. //Title or heading// //Classification//: general statement identifying the land form and providing its location. //Description:// conditions in the selected area responsible for weathering (e.g. climate, rock type). //Description//: the weathering process, i.e. the sequence of events that have resulted in the formation of the land form selected. This can be a series of labelled diagrams. //Conclusion//: any future implications of continued weathering in the area.
