LANDFORMS AND OCEANS Science Standard 5-3 The student will demonstrate an understanding of features, processes, and changes in Earth's land and oceans.
Weathering This is a destructive force and can be chemical or physical. It causes the surface of the earth to dissolve, decompose, and break into smaller pieces.
Water is an important cause of weathering. Plants cause weathering when roots break apart. Changes in temperature can break rock, as well as ice forming inside of cracks in the rock causing it to break even more. Anything that causes rocks to wear down is a cause of weathering.
Erosion This is a destructive force. It is the movement of sediments and soil by wind, water, and gravity.
Erosion Song • Tune: "Jingle Bells" Running down a hill Wind blowing in a gale, Or coming down as snow, Or gentle as a breeze, Water causes much Wears the rock away Erosion, this we know. And carries sand with ease. Wave action moves the beach. A hurricane last year, A river carves the land. And glaciers long ago, Everywhere that water goes, Are ways that natural forces use It carries dirt or sand. To change the Earth we know. Chorus: (repeat chorus) Oh, wind and rain, snow and ice, Water running free; These all cause land to erode With changes we can see. Wind and rain, snow and ice, Water running free; These all cause land to erode With changes we can see.
Volcanic Eruption This is a constructive force. During an eruption, melted rock rises from deep within the earth and reaches the surface. They can also occur under the oceans.
Volcanoes can change Earth’s surfaces. When the magma erupts from the volcano the top of the mountain can be changed, either built up or blown off. The lava and ash can destroy forests and bury fields. Volcanic eruptions can even change Earth’s weather patterns.
Volcanic Eruption Seamounts are volcanoes that are built up under the ocean. If the seamount rises above the ocean surface it is called a volcanic island (like Hawaii and Japan!)
Earthquake This is a destructive force. Earthquakes are vibrations on Earth’s surface caused by sudden movement in the Earth, often along a fault, a break in Earth’s surface.
Earthquake Earthquakes under the ocean can cause huge waves (tsunamis) that can destroy land and cause great damage if they come ashore.
Volcanoes And Earthquakes This map shows how volcanoes and earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/teachers/activities/2515_vesuvius.html
The edges of the continents slope down from the shore into the ocean. The part of the continent located under the water is known as the continental shelf. The width of the continental shelf varies around the edges of the continents. In some places the continental shelf is fairly shallow and in some places it becomes very deep, but it is not the deepest part of the ocean.
