Unit 8, Assignment 2 **Skipping assignment 1 which focused on weathering (you guys are well equipped for that already!)
- Today we finished our last tests on soil with porosity and pH.
- Remember that as you do any necessary research to cite the website or sources you use.
- Afterwards, we talked a bit about the different types of soil, soil horizons, and soil forming factors.
- Towards the end of class, we started to look at the soil texture triangle. We'll have some time to work more with that next time.

Today in class….
- Today we finished looking at our soil triangle and how to determine the kind of soil we have based on measurements of clay, silt, and sand.
- Afterwards, we looked at porosity and permeability of soil before moving on to mass movements of land and rock.
- Some of these movements can be slow and steady like soil creep or more destructive like mud or debris flows.
