Bell work 9/6 Put your name at the top of your paper. Fold your paper in half. On the back draw a line down the center where you folded. On the left side draw a circle map with “physical geography” in the center circle. On the right side number 1-2 with space to write sentences for each one. With your table group at a level 1 define ‘physical geography’ in your circle map. When you are finished turn in your Cornell Notes from last week if you forgot to turn them in.

Ocean One of the five major bodies of salt water that surround the continents

Sea Large body of water completely or partly surrounded by land

plateau Area of flat or rolling land at a high elevation, about 300-3,000 feet high

strait Narrow stretch of water joining two larger bodies of water

Ice shelf A thick mass of ice that is permanently attached to the land but projects into and floats on the sea

peninsula Body of land jutting into a lake or ocean, surrounded on three sides by water

desert A region so arid because of little rainfall that it supports only sparse and widely spaced vegetation or no vegetation at all
