| |
 From the highest mountains to the deepest chasms, the Earth’s terrain is comprised of varying levels and unique features. In Topography, students will learn how the features of the Earth’s surface are arranged while exploring the art and science of re-creating these terrains on maps. See how forces like earthquakes, volcanoes, water and wind have changed the Earth’s surface over countless centuries, and learn why studying these changes is important to learning about our planet’s past and future. See how cartographers map the floor of the oceans, while an informative demonstration shows students how they can make a simple topographic map of their own. Part of the Earth Science in Action Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide. |
