WeatheringWeatheringThis 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.
![Page 16: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
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.
![Page 17: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

ErosionErosionThis is a destructive force. It is
the movement of sediments and soil by wind, water, and gravity.
![Page 20: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Erosion SongErosion 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 awayErosion, 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.

LandslideLandslideThis is a destructive force. This
is a mass movement of land due to gravity.
![Page 24: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Landslides even occur on the continental slope in the ocean!
![Page 25: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
LandslideLandslide
Landslides can cause
buildings to fall, or power and gas lines
to break.

DepositionDepositionThis is a constructive force. It
builds up new land by dropping or depositing sediments via water, wind, or ice.
![Page 29: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Deposition created the Mississippi River Delta near the New Orleans area.
Deposition causes the sand to pile up and create sand dunes on our beaches.
Shells on our beaches are deposition by ocean waves.

Volcanic EruptionVolcanic EruptionThis 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.
![Page 34: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
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.
![Page 35: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Volcanic EruptionVolcanic EruptionSeamounts 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!)

EarthquakeEarthquakeThis 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.
![Page 40: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Some earthquakes cause little damage and some cause a lot of damage.
Large earthquakes can cause landslides.
![Page 41: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
EarthquakeEarthquakeEarthquakes under the ocean
can cause huge waves (tsunamis) that can destroy land and cause great damage if they come ashore.
![Page 42: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

FloodFloodThis is a destructive force. Floods
occur when a large amount of water covers land that is normally dry.
![Page 46: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
When the flood occurs, rapid erosion can take place and move soil and sediments away.
When the flood recedes, new sediment is left behind and can build up rich soil deposits.
![Page 47: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

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.
![Page 50: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

The steep slope where the continental shelf drops to the bottom of the ocean floor is called the continental slope.
The depth of the ocean water increases greatly here.
![Page 52: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

On the bottom of the ocean, there is a central ridge, or mountain range, that divides the ocean floor into two parts.
These underwater volcanic mountains are known as the mid-ocean ridge.
Volcanic mountains not formed on the mid-ocean ridge are called seamounts.
![Page 55: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

In the center of the highest part of the mid-ocean ridge is a narrow trench called a rift.
Underwater volcanic activity that adds mountains to either side of the mid-ocean ridge occurs at the rift zone.
![Page 58: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

There are many steep-sided canyons and deep, narrow valleys in the bottom of the ocean.
Ocean trenches are the deepest part of the ocean basin and are deeper than any valley found on dry land.
![Page 60: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

Located on either side of the mid-ocean ridge is the ocean basin.
It is made up of low hills and flat plains.
The flat area of the ocean basin is called the abyssal plain.
Seamounts are generally formed on the ocean basin.

The ocean shore zone, or coast, is the area where the land meets the ocean. Some shorelines are rocky. Shorelines made of sand are called beaches. Shorelines
are always changing because of wind and water.
![Page 77: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Waves can wear away the land and expose a rocky shore or the
waves can deposit sand along the shore and form a beach. If the waves reach the beach at an
angle, the sand is moved along the coast.
![Page 78: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
CURRENTS
Flowing streams of water that move continually through the ocean in a specific direction are called currents.
Some currents flow at the ocean’s surface and some are found deeper in the ocean.
![Page 79: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Currents, called longshore currents, along the shoreline can move sand from one location to
another.
![Page 80: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Surface currents are caused by the movement of Earth and by the force and direction of wind.
The movement of Earth and winds cause these currents to flow along curved paths.

Warm water and cold water are moved to different regions on Earth as a result of currents.
Warm surface currents are driven by Earth’s rotation from the tropics to higher latitudes.
Cold surface currents are driven by Earth’s rotation from the polar latitudes toward the equator.

Tides can bring in sand, shells, and ocean sediments at high tide and leave them behind when the
tide goes out (low tide.)

Islands are pieces of land surrounded by water on all sides. Islands with sandy beaches are
called barrier islands.
![Page 88: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
These barrier islands are naturally occurring and function to protect the mainland from the effects of
waves on its shore. As the waves deposit sand on the beaches, the
shapes of the barrier islands change.
![Page 89: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Currents can move the sand from one end of the island to the other.

All rivers eventually flow into the oceans. The area where a river
meets the ocean is known as an estuary. Estuaries have a mixture
of freshwater and saltwater.
![Page 92: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Waves can deposit sand in the estuaries. At high tide ocean
water brings in sediments and sea life that feed and nourish life
in the estuary.

Large storms, for example hurricanes, can also cause massive destruction to the
shape of the beaches, barrier islands, estuaries, and inlets because they produce high waves and heavy winds.

WAVESWAVESThe repeated movement of water is known as a wave. All waves have the same parts. The highest part is known
as the crest and the lowest part is known as the trough. Most ocean
waves are caused by winds that are blown across the surface of the water.
A wave changes shape when it reaches the shore.

CURRENTSCURRENTSFlowing streams of water that move continually through the
ocean in a specific direction are called currents. Some currents flow at the ocean’s surface and some are found deeper in the ocean. Surface currents are caused by the movement of Earth and by the force and direction of wind. The movement of Earth and winds causes these currents to flow along curved paths. Warm water and cold water are moved to different regions on Earth as a result of currents. Warm surface currents are driven by Earth’s rotation from the tropics to higher latitudes. Cold surface currents are driven by Earth’s rotation from the polar latitudes toward the equator.

TIDESTIDES
Several times during the day, the level of water at the ocean shore changes. This regular rise and fall of waters in oceans and seas is called a tide. Tides are caused by the pull of the Moon’s gravity on Earth. As the Moon moves in relation to Earth, the water on Earth moves too. As Earth spins on its axis, the part of the ocean facing the moon will bulge. High tide occurs when the water level is at its highest point. Low tide occurs when the water level is at it lowest point. Tides rise and fall about twice a day.

Key WordsKey Words
• Resource: A supply that meets a need for materials or energy.• Resources may include air, water, trees, rocks and minerals, soil, or coal
and oil.
• Conserve: To use wisely.

We can:1. Conserve resources
The wise use of natural resources is called conservation.
![Page 113: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
• Human activities that help to keep the natural resources of Earth available and clear of pollution are conservation efforts.
• Some efforts involve everyone trying to reduce (use less of something), reuse (use something over again), and recycle (make something new from an old product).
![Page 114: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
• Other efforts involve trying to save the land and oceans through clean-up projects, installing fence lines to prevent dune erosion or jetties along the entrance to harbors or groins along beaches in an effort to keep sand from washing away.
![Page 115: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
The idea behind building groins on beaches is to prevent beach erosion.
As this photo illustrates, they work about half-right.
The beach is built up on one side of the groin but is severely eroded on the other side.
Beaches and "permanent" barriers don't mix!
![Page 116: Landforms & oceans lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5874dddb1a28abd05f8b7423/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
•Beach re-nourishment projects help to restore sand on beaches.
•Planting trees, bushes, or grass is a way to improve air quality as well as keep erosion from carrying away soil.

•Careless dumping of trash on land or in oceans pollutes those areas.
• Smoke and fumes from burning fuels pollutes the air.
• Oil spills harm the oceans and can cause life there to be killed.

MiningMining
• The process of removing a resource from the ground.
• We mine coal (a fossil fuel) and iron (used in steel).
• Mining can be harmful by: changing habitats, causing pollution, increasing erosion when plants and topsoil are stripped from an area.
