Flashcards: Compare ways to prevent wind/water from changing land shape

The hill near the playground has been changing over the last few months. During heavy rain, the dirt is being quickly washed off the hill. This is a problem for the class because the students are unable to play in this area since it is unstable and unsafe.

Which solution would be best to prevent the wind and water from changing the hill?

Plant new grass. The roots will hold the dirt steady and absorb the water.

Cover the hill in leaves. The leaves will soak up the rain and stop the dirt from moving.

Install a new slide on the hill. Adding a slide will block the rain from reaching the hill.

Leave the soil alone; there is nothing that can be done.

Flashcards: Compare ways to prevent wind/water from changing land shape

Which solution would be best to prevent the wind and water from changing the hill?

Your answer:

Cover the hill in leaves. The leaves will soak up the rain and stop the dirt from moving.

Your answer:

Install a new slide on the hill. Adding a slide will block the rain from reaching the hill.

Your answer:

Leave the soil alone; there is nothing that can be done.

Correct answer:

Plant new grass. The roots will hold the dirt steady and absorb the water.

Explanation:

The best option to prevent the hill from continuing to be eroded is to plant new grass. The roots of the grass will absorb water and hold the dirt in place. As wind and rain wear things down and move them away, humans must come up with solutions to prevent it from getting worse. The other answers are not reasonable or will not work. Leaves will not absorb the water and will wash away, leaving it alone will allow the problem to get worse, and putting a slide on the hill is dangerous!

Flashcards: Compare ways to prevent wind/water from changing land shape

Our land is changed when wind and water break down the soil and wash it away. Hurricanes in the South cause a lot of damage and change the area in very severe ways. Below is a picture of the damage from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

New Orleans, Louisiana, After Hurricane Katrina, City

What could the city do to prevent the water from changing the shape of the land and damaging the buildings in the future?

Scoop up all the water as it floods and put it back in the ocean.

Build barriers to stop the water from flowing into the city.

Plant bushes and flowers along the edge of the town to soak up all the water.

Move the city to another area because this one is damaged.

New Orleans, Louisiana, After Hurricane Katrina, City

What could the city do to prevent the water from changing the shape of the land and damaging the buildings in the future?

Your answer:

Scoop up all the water as it floods and put it back in the ocean.

Your answer:

Plant bushes and flowers along the edge of the town to soak up all the water.

Your answer:

Move the city to another area because this one is damaged.

Correct answer:

Build barriers to stop the water from flowing into the city.

Explanation:

The damage from Hurricane Katrina permanently changed the area and the land of New Orleans. The floodwaters destroyed many buildings, and when the water receded to the ocean, it dragged dirt, rocks, and debris along with it changing the landscape. The city could install barriers or levees to block the water from passing into the city. There were already some in place, but there could be taller levees installed or more of them.
