To the third graders, who are learning about weathering and erosion.
Weathering and erosion:The Piney Woods-
The Piney Woods ecoregion receives a lot of precipitation and has lots of vegetation. Vegetation such as pine forests and grasses holds soil in place. Very little erosion takes place in these areas. Seasonal flooding occurs along riverbanks. Sediments are carried and deposited in different locations along the river route. The thick areas of vegetation help to inhibit river erosion. These characteristics of the Piney Woods ecoregion provide stable environments for wildlife to thrive. However, the soil of this region is predominantly coarse textured sands, produced from weathered granite over thousands of years.
