Formation of Landforms (5th Grade Science TEKS 5.10C)

Science TEKS 5.10C The student is expected to model and identify how changes to Earth’s surface by wind, water, or ice result in the formation of landforms, including deltas, canyons, and sand dunes.

Key Points

Dunes and deltas are formed primarily due to deposition. (All start with the letter D!)

The nitty-gritty of the standard is:

  • Understanding how ice, water, and wind change Earth’s land
  • Modeling landform formation
  • Identifying agents of change for canyons, V-shaped valleys, U-shaped valleys, deltas, dunes, mesas, and rock pedestals
  • Identifying whether landforms are primarily formed due to weathering and erosion or deposition
