Climate Power Point

Here's a link for the Climate PowerPoint we've been using to fill-in-the-blank handouts.

Home work tonight

If you did not get your rough draft done today for the climate cartoon paragraph, this needs to be completed for tomorrow.  Your final copy will be due at the end of the period.

Welcome Back!

Hope everyone had a adventurous and/or relaxing March Break!  I was able to explore a unique region of Canada over the break and am excited to share my adventures with you!  We'll be starting our unit on CLIMATE this week, just as we see our seasons move from winter to spring!

TEST- WEDNESDAY MARCH 9th

Be prepared for the physical geography test this Wednesday!  Here is what you should be familiar with:


-layers of the earth (crust, mantle, inner core, outer core)

-have an idea of where each landform region is in Canada (the map we worked on in class)
-characteristics of each region (what they look like)
-human activity or resources found in the region (where do we find oil? lumber? minerals,etc)

-geological eras- what parts of Canada formed first and last (Canadian Shield to the Western Cordillera)-remember the short "film strip time-line we did in class)
-which era was longest, shortest, etc

-rock cycle
-what forces changed the landscapes (erosion, etc)
-glaciation

-understand how a volcano works and how to label it
-know the definitions to the terminology we looked at for volcanoes (lahar, pycroclastic, tephra, magma, lava, etc)

-be prepared to label diagrams that may include types of folding, faulting and earthquake activity
 -faulting (diverging, converging, subduction, rift valley, slip/strike)

Good luck!

Landform Regions

Here is another copy of the Landform Region's map you created in class this week. Be sure to have a understand of where each region is located!
