How many on the 7 continents have been shaped by volcanoes?

A dome mountain is formed when magma pushes sedimentary rock up to the Earth's crust. What would it be called if this magma breached the crust and erupted onto Earth's surface?
a volcano

What is the act in which earth is worn away, often by water, wind, ice, or people.
erosion

Name 2 types of mountains. (hint- use your maps)
Fault block, volcano, dome, folding

A horn is a mountain peak with steep sides. It is formed when glaciers form on the sides of the peak and erode it into a sharp point. Find one on the Alpine Glacier map. (Find a number)

What is the process where sediments are added to a land form or land mass.
deposition

A submergent coastline is a coastline experiencing a rise in sea level. What would you call a coastline experiencing a fall in sea level?
emergent coastline

Using all of your team members, please act out a volcanic eruption.
WOOHoo!

Of the different mountain maps, which one is formed on a convergent plate boundary (where 2 tectonic plates collide)?
Folded Mountains

Look out the window. There are some black rocks. These rocks are not native to Southern Wisconsin. How could they have gotten here?
wind, water, ice, people..
In this case, it is ice.

Using all of your team members, please act out erosion.
many correct answers- (trail leaders, use your judgment)

Where on the Coastline of Submergence map is the continental slope (the slope from the edge of the continent down to the ocean floor)?
#18

Look at lake #22. How was this lake formed?
After an eruption, the volcano collapsed. It then filled up with rain water.

Look at the cross section of the Dome Mountain. Why is the green rock lower than the red rock?
The red rock is stringer and does not erode as easily. It is more resistant to wind and water.

Who performed the hit single "Ice, Ice, Baby" in the late 1980's?
Vanilla Ice

Find a spot on any of the maps where the land has been eroded.

Why don't seagulls fly over the bay?
Then they would be bagels.

Look at lake #27. How did this lake form?
Lava from a volcanic eruption (31) dammed the river, creating a lake.
500
Look at the eroded mountain on the Dome Mountain map. Where have these eroded sediments landed or deposited?
Hint- use more than one map
#122 (and surrounding area)

Look at the Alpine Glaciers map. The valleys are U-shaped. They used to be V-shaped. What happened?
Glaciers slid from the top of the mountain down the sides, eroded the sharp V's into U's.

Look at lake #116 on the Continental Glaciation map. This is an oxbow lake How was this lake formed?
As the meanders of a lake grow more extreme, a river can bypass a meander. This will make a new path, cutting off the meander, leaving a moon shaped lake.
