Give me an example of a water landform

river, ocean, lake, stream, pond

How does water erode the land? 

It moves rock, soil, and sediment to new places
100

Rapid or slow change: tornado

rapid

100
Too much water in one place, water levels rise

flood

What can humans do to reduce damage from floods?

build flood gates, dam, walls, and/or storm drains

200

A landform that is tall with a peak at the top

Mountain

200

A constant downward pull or force 

gravity

200

Rapid or slow change: flowing river 

slow
200

tsunami
200

What can humans do to prevent landslides?

plant trees, build walls, storm drains, add rock 

300

A landform that is surrounded by 3 sides water

peninsula

300

wind erosion 

300

Rapid or slow change: 200 sunny days

slow

300

Lots of rain with high winds 

hurricane

300

What can humans do to prevent wind erosion?

build wind barriers, plant trees, lay down rock

400

A landform that is surrounded completely by water 

island

400

A type of erosion that heats things up, changes the temperature, and causes rocks to crack of break 

solar/sun erosion 

400

Rapid or slow change: landslide

rapid

400

Spinning air currents that drops down from the clouds

tornado

Why is preventing land erosion important?

Open ended: help preserve our land and protect homes/buildings/schools/hospitals

plateau

What is the most common type of erosion? 

water erosion

What is the difference between a rapid change and a slow change to Earth? 

A rapid change happens quickly or fast. A slow change happens slowly over 100s of years. 

500

High winds and lots of snowfall

blizzard

With erosion from the ocean, what is happening to our coastlines?

they are shrinking/getting smaller
