1. Archipelago
A group of islands clustered together in an open expanse of sea or ocean

2. Bay
A small area of sea or lake partly enclosed by dry land

3. Cape
A pointed piece of land that projects from a coastline

4. Continent
One of the seven great masses of land on Earth

5. Continental Divide
A long mountain ridgeline that determines the directions a continent's rivers will flow

6. Delta
A fan-shaped deposit of mud and sand, often green with vegetation, found at the mouths of many rivers

7. Desert
A very dry and desolate land that receives little or no rainfall

8. Faults
The fracture or movement of rock strata

9. Fjord
A long narrow inlet of the sea between tall rocky cliffs

10. Geyser
A naturally hot, or geothermal spring that shoots scalding water and steam high into the air

11. Glacier
A great mass of ice slowly sliding down a mountain slope or through a valley (a very slow moving river of ice)

12. Gulf
A large inlet of ocean or sea that is partially surrounded by land (gulfs are much bigger and deeper than bays)

13. Headwater or Source
The area where a river originates and begins its journey to the sea

14. Iceberg
A large chunk of floating ice that has broken off from a glacier

15. Isthmus
A narrow strip of land that connects two larger areas of land, and narrowly separates two large bodies of water

16. Mountain Pass
An opening or gap in a mountain range that serves as a path or road across the mountains

17. Mouth
The place where a stream flows into a larger body of water - the end of a river

18. Ocean
The entire body of salt water that covers nearly three-quarters of the Earth's surface

19. Ocean Ridge
A massive mountain range lying at the bottom of an ocean or sea

20. Peninsula
A large piece of land that juts far out into the water and is almost surrounded by water

21. Permafrost
Soil that is permanently frozen

22. Plateau
A large highland plain that rises sharply above the surrounding land.

23. Rift Valley
A long, narrow valley lying between two normal geologic faults. This is a result of diverging continental plates.
The divergent plate boundary which extends southward across eastern Africa, is in the process of splitting the African Plate into two new separate plates. Geologists generally refer to these plates as the Nubian Plate and the Somali Plate.

24. River Basin
The beginning points of several rivers and their tributaries

25. Sea
A large body of salt water that is smaller than an ocean

26. Sea Level
An average height of the world's oceans - used as a measure of heights and depths

27. Strait
A narrow waterway that connects two larger bodies of water (these are also called channels)

28. Tributary
A small running stream of water that flows into a larger river or stream

29. Polar, Temperate, and Tropical Zones
A broad belt of climate and geography that encircles the Earth

30. Tropical Zone
The hot, steamy region that lies just north and south of the equator

31. Temperate Zone
The two moderate regions that lie north and south of the tropical zone

32. Polar Zone
The ice-cold regions located at the north and south poles

33. Before beginning Science today, it is very important that you …
WASH YOUR HANDS!!! - and yes, use SOAP!

Read through the section titled Finding Faults with Food, SILENTLY, as you wait for your supplies.
Talk to a partner to discuss what you notice.

37. Finding Faults With Food
Using the supplies given, follow the directions carefully to make a food model of a DIVERGENT Plate Boundary.
Talk to your partner about key things that should go into your model before you draw it.
Draw and label a model of divergent plate boundaries
Do NOT eat your supplies!

38. Finding Faults With Food
Using the supplies given, follow the directions on the next page to make a food model of a CONVERGENT Plate Boundary.
Remember that this first one will show Oceanic Crust converging with Continental Crust
Talk to your partner about key things that should go into your model
Draw and label a model of convergent plate boundaries

39. Finding Faults With Food
Using the supplies given, follow the directions on the next page to make a food model of a CONVERGENT Plate Boundary.
Remember that this first one will show Continental Crust converging with Continental Crust
Talk to your partner about key things that should go into your model
Draw and label a model of this type of convergent plate boundaries

40. Finding Faults With Food
