GEOLOGICAL FEATURES

This slide presentation by Calleen Argyle introduces students to diverse geological features such as mesas, plateaus, mountains, rivers, oceans, deserts, and islands. Students will engage in activities to describe, identify, and model these landforms, as well as learn about the processes shaping them, effects of erosion, earthquakes, and volcanoes on geological features. The final project involves students building a geological landform model at home using creative materials, emphasizing the dynamic nature of Earth's geological features.

Presentation Transcript

  1. GEOLOGICAL FEATURES A slide presentation by Calleen Argyle

  2. Students will recognize various geological features Mesas Plateaus Mountains Rivers and Streams Oceans Deserts Islands

  3. Student Activities • Describe a variety of geological features • Read topographic maps to identify geological features • Build a model of a geological feature (landform model)

  4. Identify processes that form geological features • Identify effects of erosion • Describe the effects of earthquakes on geological features • Describe the relationship between active volcanoes and related geological features

  5. Final Project • Students will build a model of a geological landform at home • This model can be in the form of a diorama, sculpture, relief map etc. • Students may use clay, papier mache or other materials • Be creative and have fun! • Students will bring their landform models to class to display

  6. Real Life • The earth is in a constant state of change • Geological landforms are affected by erosion, earthquakes, and other forces of nature • It is important to recognize these changes in the earth’s geological features

  7. In Summary • Students will be able to identify various geological landforms • Interpret topographic maps • Identify effects of erosion • Describe the effects of earthquakes and volcanoes on geological features • Build a model of a geological feature (landform model)
