Glaciers and Hills

Hi today we are learning about glaciers and hills.

Some effects if you live near a glacier are you have to watch out for landslides.

A hill is a piece of land that rises higher than everything surrounding it. It looks like a little bump in the Earth. Since theyre higher than everything around them, hills are good places to get a nice view.

A glacier is a huge mass of ice that moves slowly over land. The term glacier comes from the French word glace (glah-SAY), which means ice. Glaciers are often called rivers of ice. A glacier is a huge mass of ice that moves slowly over land. The term glacier comes from the French word glace (glah-SAY), which means ice.

Oceans

Today's lesson is oceans.

Oceans are a very large body of water. There are 5 different oceans on Earth.

       If you live near a ocean you definitely need to watch out for tsunamis and hurricanes. Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Artic, and the Southern are the 5 oceans. The farther you get from the oceans the  hotter  it can get. No other planet is able to have water.

Plains

Hello again this one is about plains. A plain is a area of nearly flat land. (no hills or mountains)

In the USA there is a very large area of plains called the Great Plains in the middle of the USA.      Another large area of plains in the USA is the Coastal plains on the Atlantic side of the USA.

Mountains and Landforms

Today I will teach you about the word landforms and mountains. A land form is the shapes that makes up the earth like a mountain. Also when you see a word underlined it is a land form. If there is a word that you don't know ask somebody else. If a word is in bold print is a description. Mountains is our first land form, here we go!!

A mountain is a raised land with a high peak. The highest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest, in Nepal.

  If you live close to a mountain you have to watch out for landslides (avalanches)

Hello

Hi I'm Brandt,
I'm doing this for a social studies project. I go to Bermudian Springs Elementery School. I am very funny. I hope you have a good time on Brandt's Blog. And remember this isn't facebook, landform talk only. But I don't mind if you post some comments though. Here is a good website to learn more about landforms.
