4
Identify processes that form geological features

Final Project

• Students will build a model of a geological
  landform at home

• The earth is in a constant state of change
• Geological landforms are affected by erosion,
  earthquakes, and other forces of nature
• It is important to recognize these changes in the
  earths geological features

In Summary

• Students will be able to identify various
  geological landforms
• Interpret topographic maps
• Identify effects of erosion
• Describe the effects of earthquakes and volcanoes
  on geological features
• Build a model of a geological feature (landform
