  1. Earth Science Rocks!Warm Up Dec. 17 Question: Draw the pie graph of the distribution of Earth’s waters

  2. Earth Science Rocks! MYP Unit Question: How does land change? Area of Interaction: Environment Learner Profile: Thinker

  3. Earth Science Rocks! Standard: Investigate the scientific view of how the Earth’s surface is formed. Learning Target: Today I am learning how water shapes the land because it affects the Earth’s surface.

  4. Activating Strategy—Water Cycle Song

  5. Water Shapes the land

  6. Flowing water, in streams and rivers or across the land in sheets, is the dominant erosional process in shaping Earth's landscape.

  7. Rivers flow downstream because of the force of _______________.

  8. The sweeping bends are called meanders.

  9. Mississippi River meanders

  10. Mississippi River Delta • Sediments are moved and deposited at the mouth of the river to form a Delta.

  11. The Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon

  12. Groundwater dissolved limestone rock and forms caves.

  13. Animation of Cave Formation • http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es1405/es1405page01.cfm?chapter_no=visualization

  14. As rivers age, a winding path may eventually cause Oxbow Lakes to form.

  15. Oxbow Lake

  16. Groundwater causes sunken areas of land

  17. Sinkhole formation

  18. Guatamala sinkhole May 2010

  19. Ocean waves deposit sand offshore to form Sandbars

  20. Deposits of sand at the ocean’s edge widen beaches.

  21. Ocean waves erode headland, leaving an isolated piece of rock called a Sea Stack

  22. New Standard Preview

  23. Earth Science Rocks! • MYP Unit Question: How do we use water? • Area of Interaction: Health and Social Education • Learner Profile: Thinker and Balanced

  24. Earth Science Rocks! • Standard: Recognize the significant role of water in Earth’s processes. • Essential Question: How does water affect the Earth’s surface?
