3. What are Physical Processes?

4. PHYSICAL PROCESSES

5. Physical Processes are natural forces that change Earth's physical features, including forces that build up and wear down Earth's surface.

6. Some Examples of Physical Processes *ocean currents *earthquakes * hurricanes *tsunamis *volcanoes

7. There are a number of ocean currents found around the Earth. An ocean current is fast moving water like a vast river flowing from one place to another. These currents are caused by differences in temperature, differences in salinity, and by wind. Currents are responsible for a vast amount of movement of the water found in the Earth’s oceans.

8. How can ocean currents effect the environment and people? Name 3 effects. Ocean Currents

9. Earthquakes A sudden movement of the ground caused by shifts in parts of the earth's crust. These usually will occur along a fault.

12. Earthquakes How can earthquakes effect the environment and people? Name 3 effects.

13. Hurricanes a storm that forms over the ocean and has strong winds and large amounts of rain

22. Volcanoes How can volcanoes effect the environment and people? Name 3 effects.

23. On May 18th, 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in southwest Washington state disrupted the lives of thousands and changed more than 200 square miles of rich forest into a grey, lifeless landscape. Now, more than twenty-six years later, the land around the mountain is slowly healing. Nature may be covering the scars of the 1980 eruption, but many people will never forget what happened that spring day. May 17, 1980August 13, 2005

24. Other Physical Processes Monsoons and Tornadoes

25. In Arizona, as in other regions of the world including India and Thailand, we experience a monsoon, a season of high temperatures, high winds, and high moisture, resulting in potentially deadly weather. The term "monsoon" comes from the Arabic "mausim" meaning "season" or "wind shift."

27. This is why vehicles should be abandoned if a tornado approaches.

29. What do physical processes cause? *Economic loss *Destruction of crops *Destruction of property *Population movement *Geographical changes *Emotional stress and loss of family
