Extra-Terrestrial Geography Exploring examples of physical geography on planets other than Earth. Intended as a motivational tool for delivering the nature of physical processes (including fluvial and volcanic) that occur on the surface of the Earth. Mr. Nathan Morland

Extra-Terrestrial Geography Look closely. What can you see? Fluvial Networks Meanders Braiding River Valleys Impact Craters Volcanic activity Ice Caps At closer inspection Erosion (fluvial, glacial?, aeolian)

Extinct Martian Volcano Where is the Geography? Olympus Mons Extinct Martian Volcano Where would it have formed if it was on Earth? What physical processes would have been involved if it had have formed on Earth? How would it impact upon the lives of people living close to where it may have formed?

Examples applied to Earth Yogi Rock- Pathfinder landing site www.giss.nasa.gov Olympus Mons www.nasa.gov Valles Marineris www.nasa.gov Popocatepetl - Mexico http://visibleearth.nasa.gov Amazon River, Brazil www.earthobservatory.nasa.gov www.geography-site.co.uk Alpine Erratic.

Points to Remember Always relate the images and ‘thinking’ back to examples found on Earth. Stay focused on the intended outcome of the tasks and guide the pupils appropriately. Allow your pupils to get excited and ask you lots of questions. Also allow for lots of discussion and ‘healthy’ chatter.

Resources Text Useful Websites Summerfield, M. (1991) Global Geomorphology. Longman, Harlow. Chapter 19 – Planetary Geomorphology. Useful Websites www.nasa.gov – satellite images of surfaces of most planets.
