3. wind 6. building houses

b. Group work: Identify examples of erosion in your area.

Use photographs. Write a short text.

Read the text on continental drift and complete the words.

The Earths c is divided into different plates called t plates. When plates

collide, the Earths surface often undulates and f are created. When the surface fractures,

f are created, and blocks rise or sink. The collision of plates has produced many

m such as the Himalayas.

The movement of plates can also produce volcanoes and earthquakes. When a volcano erupts, it ejects

a very hot material called l . Volcanic eruptions under the sea can form i

such as the Canaries. Earthquakes on the ocean floor can produce huge waves called t .
