Archipelago n A group of islands clustered together in an open expanse of sea or ocean
Bay n A small area of sea or lake partly enclosed by dry land
Cape n A pointed piece of land that projects from a coastline
Continent n One of the seven great masses of land on Earth
Continental Divide n A long mountain ridgeline that determines the directions a continent's rivers will flow
Delta n A fan-shaped deposit of mud and sand, often green with vegetation, found at the mouths of many rivers
Desert n A very dry and desolate land that receives little or no rainfall
Faults n The fracture or movement of rock strata
Fjord n A long narrow inlet of the sea between tall rocky cliffs
Geyser n A naturally hot, or geothermal spring that shoots scalding water and steam high into the air
Glacier n A great mass of ice slowly sliding down a mountain slope or through a valley (a very slow moving river of ice)
Gulf n A large inlet of ocean or sea that is partially surrounded by land (gulfs are much bigger and deeper than bays)
Headwater or Source n The area where a river originates and begins its journey to the sea
Iceberg n A large chunk of floating ice that has broken off from a glacier
Isthmus n A narrow strip of land that connects two larger areas of land, and narrowly separates two large bodies of water
Mountain Pass n An opening or gap in a mountain range that serves as a path or road across the mountains
Mouth n The place where a stream flows into a larger body of water - the end of a river
Ocean n The entire body of salt water that covers nearly three-quarters of the Earth's surface
Ocean Ridge n A massive mountain range lying at the bottom of an ocean or sea
Peninsula n A large piece of land that juts far out into the water and is almost surrounded by water
Permafrost n Soil that is permanently frozen
Plateau n A large highland plain that rises sharply above the surrounding land.
Rift Valley n A long, narrow valley lying between two normal geologic faults. This is a result of diverging continental plates. n The divergent plate boundary which extends southward across eastern Africa, is in the process of splitting the African Plate into two new separate plates. Geologists generally refer to these plates as the Nubian Plate and the Somali Plate. �
River Basin n The beginning points of several rivers and their tributaries
Sea n A large body of salt water that is smaller than an ocean
Sea Level n An average height of the world's oceans used as a measure of heights and depths
Strait n A narrow waterway that connects two larger bodies of water (these are also called channels)
Tributary n A small running stream of water that flows into a larger river or stream
Polar, Temperate, and Tropical Zones n A broad belt of climate and geography that encircles the Earth
Tropical Zone n The hot, steamy region that lies just north and south of the equator
Temperate Zone n The two moderate regions that lie north and south of the tropical zone
Polar Zone n The ice-cold regions located at the north and south poles
Before beginning Science today, it is very important that you … WASH YOUR HANDS!!! - and yes, use SOAP!
Plate Tectonics What do you think of when you think of each of the following? n Oceanic n Continental n Convergent n Divergent n Transform
Turn to the corresponding handout in your Science Notebook What do you now think of? n n n Convergent Divergent Transform
Turn to the corresponding handout in your Science Notebook n n Read through the section titled Finding Faults with Food, SILENTLY, as you wait for your supplies. Talk to a partner to discuss what you notice.
Finding Faults With Food n n Using the supplies given, follow the directions carefully to make a food model of a DIVERGENT Plate Boundary. Talk to your partner about key things that should go into your model before you draw it. Draw and label a model of divergent plate boundaries Do NOT eat your supplies!
Finding Faults With Food n n Using the supplies given, follow the directions on the next page to make a food model of a CONVERGENT Plate Boundary. Remember that this first one will show Oceanic Crust converging with Continental Crust Talk to your partner about key things that should go into your model Draw and label a model of convergent plate boundaries
Finding Faults With Food n Using the supplies given, follow the directions on the next page to make a food model of a CONVERGENT Plate Boundary. n Remember that this first one will show Continental Crust converging with Continental Crust n Talk to your partner about key things that should go into your model Draw and label a model of this type of convergent plate boundaries n
Finding Faults With Food n n n Using the supplies given, follow the directions on the next page to make a food model of a Transform Plate Boundary. Talk to your partner about key things that should go into your model Draw and label a model of transform plate boundaries
