1. Mountains-huge towers of rock and are the highest landform
b. Mount Everest-tallest mountain in the world, Asia’s Himalayas 29,028 feet.
9. Valleys-long stretch of land that is lower than the land on either side
10. Flatlands- occur in one of two forms
a.
Plains- flat lowlands found near coasts and lowlands
b.
Plateaus- flatlands at high elevations
11. Isthmus- narrow strip of land that connects two larger landmasses and has water on
two sides.
a. Central America
12. Peninsula-a piece of land that is connected to a larger landmass on one side but has
water on the other three sides
13. Island- a body of land that is smaller than a continent and completely surrounded by water
14. Continental shelf- a plateau that stretches for several miles underwater. At the edge of
the shelf the land drops down sharply to the ocean floor.

b. Water vapor, clouds (gas)
c. Ice (solid)
14. Salt water on Earth
a. All oceans on earth are part of a huge continuous body of salt water
b. Oceans have smaller arms called seas, bays, or gulfs.
15. Straight (channel)- larger bodies of salt water can be linked to oceans by the more narrow bodies

a. Most is frozen as ice in polar regions or on mountains
17. Groundwater-freshwater that filters through soil into the ground
18. Aquifers- underground layers of rock through which water flows
Page 53-55 (GROUP 3)
13. River mouth-where a river ends, or empties into a bigger body of water
14. Tributaries- separate streams or river that lead into larger rivers
15. Delta- an area where a river breaks into many different streams flowing towards a sea
Water Cycledraw a picture of the water cycle on the back- label the parts
16. Does the amount of water on earth ever change? NO
17. Water Cycle- water goes from the oceans, to the air, to the ground and back into the oceans.
a. Evaporation- when water changes from a liquid to a gas called water vapor
(1) What determines how much water the air holds?-the air’s temperature
(2) What type of air holds more water vapor?-warm air holds more water vapor
than cool air
b. Condensation- water changes from a gas back into a liquid (clouds)
c. Precipitation- when water droplets fall to the ground
(1) Example of precipitation(a) rain
(b) snow
(c) Sleet/hail
d. Collection- water collects on the ground in rivers, lakes and streams
18. Why is very little of Earth’s freshwater usable? Most of it is in ice or solid form in glaciers
and on the top of mountains.
