Plants & Erosion
The trees of the Sunken Grove are leaning with their roots in open air — the soil slid out from under them, and it happened in an order anyone can learn.
What you're training for
In the Sunken Grove, the ground cover is gone and the slope is moving. It stops for whoever can walk erosion through, step by step. Train here first; prove it in the simulation.
The science
- Plants hold soil in place — the ground cover is the ground's grip.
- Strip the plants away and rain lands straight on bare soil, blasting grains loose with every drop.
- Water carries the loose soil downhill — that's erosion, in one sentence.
- The end state tells the story: roots hanging in open air mean the ground that held them has already left.
Teach it today — no prep
The erosion hunt. Walk the schoolyard as investigators: where is soil washing? Look for bare patches, tiny gullies after rain, exposed roots, dirt fanned across pavement. Photograph the evidence, then have students propose a fix for the worst spot — and every good fix turns out to involve plants.
