Erosion

Causes - water, wind, and glaciers

Map part’s -

Overgrazing, clear cutting forests, crop rotation, construction, strip minning

Continental drift

Plate Tectonics

Plate Tectonics

Earthquakes-

Caused when tectonic plates collide, separate, or scrap against each other. The earth’s surface jerks and shifts along plate boundaries (fault lines)

Ring of Fire - most earthquakes 80% volcanic eruptions occur in the Ring of Fire - a

narrow band of land on the edge of the Pacific Plate

Natural Resources

Energy sources, oil, natural gas, wind coal, hydroelectric, nuclear

cost availability, effect on the environment

physical change - the atoms in the substance aren’t change

Ex. Water - ice (solid) to water (liquid) to water vapor (gas)

Chemical change - substance is changed into something else.

Ex. Burning Paper - the molecules are altered, transforming the paper into gases and ash
