  8. Geographic Features • 1) Landforms • 2) Climate • 3) Bodies of Water • 4) Vegetation • 5) Natural Resources • 6) Elevation

  9. Foldable Fold, baby, fold!!

  10. Landform • A natural formation of rock and dirt on the earth’s surface • Examples: Mountains, hills, valleys, plains, islands, archipelagos, volcanoes, canyons

  19. Elevation • The measure of distance above or below sea level

  20. Lemons (landforms) • Can (climate) • Be (bodies of water) • Very (vegetation) • Nice… (natural resources) • Eventually (elevation)

  21. Check for Understanding • LAKE: Body of water, or landform?

  22. Check for Understanding • Grassland: Elevation or vegetation?

  23. Check for Understanding • Wood: Vegetation or natural resource?
