Erosion Song Lyrics by Ann Dunn and Karyn Crocker, edited by Suzy Galazy Richmond Public Schools: Science Lead Teacher Songbook2003-2004 Tune: "Jingle Bells" Running down a hill Or coming down as snow, Water causes much Erosion, this we know. Wave action moves the beach. A river carves the land. Everywhere that water goes, It Carries dirt or sand. Chorus: Oh, wind and rain, snow and ice, Water running free; These all cause land to erode With changes we can see. Wind and rain, snow and ice, Water running free; These all cause land to erode With changes we can see . Wind blowing in a gale, Or as gentle as a breeze, Wears the rock away, And carries sand with ease. A hurricane last year, And glaciers long ago, Are ways that natural forces use To change the earth we know.
