Name: ________________________________________________ Date: _______________________________ What Does the Earth Look Like Right Now? Background: How do you know if something has changed? Well, you first have to know how something looks and then notice if things are different the next time you look. This is where we will begin with geology (the study of what the Earth is made of and how it formed). You need to know how the Earth’s surface looks now in order to know if it has changed. Instructions: You will need the Internet for this activity. You will be labeling mountain ranges, oceans, and other important features by looking at different maps. Follow the instructions below. Type www.worldatlas.com into the search bar. Push “enter.” The blue stripe at the top of the screen has links to different maps. Choose a map you need by clicking on the name. Next, click on the “geography” link in the yellow bar above the map. Label the features (mountain, ocean, valley) listed below each map. See the example below. For Mountains…draw a line around the range to show how far it goes. For Oceans… write the name of the ocean in the correct location
