Landforms
• Glaciers or large sheets of ice form GLACIAL MORAINES – Cape Cod and Long Island are both GLACIAL MORAINES.
• Glacial moraines are formed as large pieces of ice push along the earth’s surface leaving behind large pieces of sediment. The large pieces of sediment form a landform known as the glacial moraine.
Landforms cont…
• Deltas are formed when water (rivers, streams or lakes) pick up sediment and deposit them into a new location. Over time, it creates a land mass known as a delta.
Mountain Formation
• Let’s look at a video…http://www.brainpop.com/science/earthsystem/mountains/zoom.weml
The earth is made up of plates. The The plates are in constant movement. Sometimes plates collide, energy is released and new landforms are produced. Sometimes plates pull apart and allow magma to come to the earth’s surface.

PangeaTheory that our world consisted of one giant “SUPER CONTINENT.”
Fossils provide evidence of what organisms lived before us…
What type of rock would I find a fossil in and why?
Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary?
What have we learned?
• What are some slow changes?• What are some fast changes?• What is landform is made from water erosion?• What is a sand dune? What type of erosion
forms a dune?• What is weathering?ADVANCED…..How would freezing and thawing affect the surface
of the earth?
