A place where earth’s surface is much higher than the land around it. mountain Great Plains, near Lincoln, Nebraska A flat area on Earth’s Surface What Am I? plain A lowland between higher land, such as mountains What Am I? valley A deep valley with very steep sides canyon What Am I? A flat area, higher than the land around it. What Am I? plateau A thin island near a coast, wide, sandy beaches What Am I? barrier island Slow Changes to the land Weathering • Process of rocks breaking down into smaller pieces, such as pebbles and then sand • Causes of weathering – Wind – Water – Plants Slow Change: Weathering • Weathering changes Earth’s surface – cracking, crumbling, and breaking rocks • Weathering is a slow process; It’s hard to see, and may take years. • Rushing waters on beaches, winds, and growing plant roots can weather rocks. • Changing temperatures and chemicals can weather rocks. Chemicals consist of air, water, and everything around you. – A cave forms when water runs through cracks in the limestone. Chemicals in the water soften the limestone. Small openings form when the water washes away the weathered rocks. Slow Change: Erosion • Erosion occurs when weathered materials are carried away. • Water, gravity, and wind can cause erosion. • A glacier -- a huge piece of moving ice -can also cause erosion. Gravity can move a glacier from a high land to a low land. It can move rocks and other things in its path. Slow Change: People • People cause changes in the Earth’s surface. These changes include eliminating forests and draining wetlands to free more land up for building homes. Cutting into mountains or hills to build roads is another change. The changes to the Earth’s surface need to be planned carefully to protect the environment. Fast Changes to the land Fast Changes • • • • • hurricanes tornadoes floods earthquakes volcanoes Fast Change: Hurricane • A hurricane is a large, violent storm with strong winds and heavy rains. Hurricanes can destroy and damage many things. They form over oceans. A tornado is a small, powerful windstorm which looks like a giant funnel. Hurricane Ike Fast Change: Floods • Big storms dump heavy rain on the land. Then the rainwater runs into rivers. If the rivers can’t hold all the water, they overflow their banks and cause a flood. • Floods leave soil and sand • Leave rich soil on fields…good for growing crops Flood, following Hurricane Ike Fast Change: Tornado • Tornadoes appear in wide, flat areas. Tornado winds swirl very fast and they are capable of destroying buildings. A flood is an overflow of water over land. Floods carry away rocks and soil, and destroy plants, and buildings. Fast Change: Earthquake • An earthquake is a sudden movement of rocks that make up the Earth’s crusts. Earthquakes start below the surface and shake the ground above. Strong earthquakes cause damage to buildings and roads. Earthquakes can cause landslides, as well. They come from loosened rocks on mountains, melting snow or heavy rains. Fast Change: Volcano • A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s surface. An eruption occurs when rocks, gases, and dust come out of the volcano. Lava is melted rock that comes from the volcano or a fissure in the ground. Volcanoes • ash cloud - an ash cloud is the cloud of ash that forms in the air after some volcanic eruptions • conduit - a conduit is a passage through which magma (molten rock) flows in a volcano. • crust - the crust is Earth's outermost, rocky layer. • lava - lava is molten rock; it usually comes out of erupting volcanoes. • magma chamber - a magma chamber contains magma (molten rock) deep within the Earth's crust. • side vent - a side vent is a vent in the side of a volcano. • vent - a vent is an opening in the Earth's surface through which volcanic materials erupt. Parts of a Volcano Review • Slow Changes • Fast Changes – Weathering – Glaciers – Erosion – hurricanes • creep Math Lesson Lesson 1-6: Problem of the Day Kofi grilled 12 grilled cheeseburgers. Ten people ate one cheeseburger each and 4 people had seconds. Is this possible? Explain. No; He would need to have made 14 cheeseburgers, and he only made 12. Mathematics Vocabulary • pattern: a series of numbers, letters, or objects that repeat over and over • digit: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 • period: a group of 3 digits End Math Lesson Social Studies Lesson Map Skills September - October 40 degrees North 80 degrees West Happy Birthday Odessa Holiday Words • • • • • • • • • wreath wrap Christmas present carol (hymn) Rudolph ornament reindeer snowflake • • • • • • • • • • decorations angel Santa Claus sleigh (eight) ski, skiing garland tinsel ribbon stocking bulb This animal was wandering around my house, during the night and daytime. Do you know what it is? fox Joke of the Day! This Day in History Betcha In The News Weather words • Sustained wind: stays strong for a long time • Wind gust: quick faster wind, then slows back down • Lake effect snow: water that evaporates from a lake, comes down as snow, the wind pushes the snow intensely in the direction it is going
