  16. Landforms on Earth • Are all Earth’s landforms the same? Why or why not? • What are some of the features that you see when you look at the pictures? • Do you think that these landforms have always been the same? • Do you think that changes in these landforms occurred quickly or did they take a long time to be formed?

  17. Landforms on Earth • How will these landforms look: • two days from now, one year from now? • ten years from now? • one hundred years from now? • one thousand years from now? • one million years from now? • What force caused these landforms to change? • Do you think that water, wind, or ice may have created some of these landforms? Which landform was created by which erosional / weathering agent?

  18. Landform Defined • In your science notebook, write a definition for the word “landform.” • Landform - Any feature on the Earth's surface, caused by erosion, sedimentation, or movement of material by wind, water, or ice
