    Dear Ms Box,

    This made me wonder how long it would take for the Grand Canyon to turn into dust. It will probably take a long time because it is very big. I learnt that it doesn't actually take that long for a mountain to turn to dust because the water dissolves into the mountain really fast.

    Dear Ms Box,

    Mountains turn to dust by the weather going on for millions of years and then it turns to dust.

    I think that it was interesting that the reason most of the bush roads are orangey is because it's just simply rusty iron.

    To Ms Box,

    I have seen the video clip: how Mountains Turns to dust. What I learnt is that rocks can break down even if you don't touch it and if there's no water here, plane earth would just be a plnet with no oxegen, no soil or sand and no life, just like other planets in the solar system.

    Mountains turn to dust by layers of dirt and dust. The weather can go on for millions of years and then they turn to mountains.

    It takes a while for it to form. We wouldn't be here without plants. I think it was a very good video.
