Weathering, Erosion & Topographic Map CBA Review
TEKS 8.9C Interpret topographic maps and satellite view to identify land and erosional features and predict how these features may be reshaped by weathering.
●Use latitude, longitude, and contours to interpret the surface of the Earth on topographic maps.
●Interpret land forms illustrated on a topographic map or a satellite map (mountains, rivers, shorelines)
