15. Think about it
You have been studying Earth’s place in the universe and exploring Earth in space for a while. Now, let’s think about Earth in a different way.

16. Discussion
The “Think About It” prompt talked about the Earth being made of rock, which is true. In fact, scientists use rocks to provide evidence for almost everything we know about Earth’s history. People who study Earth are called geologists. Geologists study Earth’s surface, its rocks, its landforms, and what’s inside Earth. They look for clues in the rocks to help them tell Earth’s story. Geologists have to be able to find and interpret evidence from rocks to answer questions about the story of a particular place on Earth.
Since we know that geologists study landforms, among other things on Earth, let’s talk more about landforms for a few minutes. What kinds of landforms exist on Earth?
Look at the examples in the “Landforms Gallery” in the textbook on page 107.

17. Add to your index
Geologists: Geologists study Earth’s surface, its rocks, its landforms, and what’s inside Earth

18. Virtual Landforms tour: Page 13-15
Refer to TG for landforms key!

22. Questions to consider….
What caused the landforms to develop?
How long did it take for some of the landforms to develop?
Why are the landforms located in their specific places?
What types of rocks make up each type of landform?
Do the landforms stay the same over time, or are they still changing?
Over the next few weeks, we are going to have time to investigate answers to many of these questions. We will keep this list and return to it when we have enough information to answer each one. All of the questions have a common theme: How did these landforms get here? How did Earth’s surface come to look the way it does today? What is the story of this place?
